John Hunt is grateful for support in the face of a personal tragedy.

After the BBC journalist’s wife Carol, 61, and daughters Hannah, 28, and Louise, 25, were killed in a fatal crossbow attack in their own home July 9, John and his surviving daughter Amy have shared a message with the public.

“We would like to thank people for their kind messages and for the support we have received in recent days,” the BBC shared on their behalf July 13. “These have provided great comfort to us for which we are very grateful.”

In a separate statement from John relayed by fellow racing commentator Matt Chapman, he expressed message of gratitude for his only surviving daughter for her strength amid the devastating tragedy.

“Amy, my eldest daughter, has been magnificently inspirational with her control and support for me, which I am trying so hard to replicate,” John, through Matt, said July 13. “Notwithstanding the horrid evil that’s swept through our lives, wreaking devastation on an unimaginable scale, the counter to that has been the breathtaking messages of support, some of which are still to be read.”
