Diana Ross' father Fred Ross died Tuesday morning in Detroit at the age of 87. "He touched many lives and he will be truly missed," Ross, 63, said in a statement. "I love him very much."

Ross announced the news at a sold-out concert in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, where she dedicated her encore song, "I Love You," to her father. She canceled a concert after-party to fly to Detroit with her family.
