The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call at Katherine’s home in the Hollywood Hills on Monday evening, where she was found dead.
Katherine is the oldest of Martin and his late wife Nancy Dolman’s three adoptive children, as the former couple is also parents to sons Oliver Patrick Short, 39, and Henry Hayter Short, 36.
While Martin has not revealed many details about his daughter, she has made public appearances alongside him in the past, including the 2003 afterparty for The Producers, Bette Midler’s New York Restoration Project “Hulaween” and the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in February 2011.
