Demi Lovato has taken to Twitter to honour her father Patrick Lovato, who died one year ago tomorrow (June 22).
The 21-year-old posted a collage of photos of herself and her late parent, saying "I love you".
Patrick - who had a difficult relationship with the 'Neon Lights' singer - had been suffering from cancer when he passed.

"Can't believe it's already been a year.. Wish I could've hugged you one last time.. RIP Daddy, I love you," she wrote.
She added: "My dad suffered from severe mental illness so at least there's peace in knowing he's not suffering anymore."

Demi was raised by her mother, Dianna, and stepfather Eddie De La Garza, but still admitted that dealing with the death of Patrick was "difficult".
She said recently: "I'm handling it okay, my father and I didn't have the most ideal relationship.
"But at the end of the day, he's still my dad and I grew up with him and he's a wonderful person. It's difficult...I'm handling it okay."
We're sure he'd be incredibly proud of all she's achieved.
