'I am so sad to say that last night my daddy, Greg passed away from stage 4 cancer,' she wrote.

'Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers.' 

Having just completed an intense eight weeks of rehearsals for Fox's Grease: Live, Vanessa made the difficult decision to perform as planned that evening.

'Tonight, I do the show in his honor,' the 27-year-old told her fans of her role as Rizzo.

Her performance won rave reviews from fans and critics alike, and although the timing could not have been worse, she took the time to thank her supporters.

'I can't believe Grease is OVER! Grand opening and grand closing. 

'Thank you to everyone who watched & supported me last night. Doing Grease:Live was one of the most incredible experiences and I'm so glad you guys liked it as much as I did. Till next time Rizz.'

Vanessa first revealed her father's battle with cancer last August, while accepting an award at the 2015 Industry Dance Awards.

She said at the time: 'Last year, my boyfriend, Austin [Butler], lost his mom, Lori, to cancer, and my dad has just been recently diagnosed with stage four cancer.

'Let me tell you, I hate cancer. I hate cancer with every cell of my being.

'This award, it means a lot to me, but I dedicate it to my boyfriend’s mom, Lori, my dad, and to all the families out there who are struggling with this, because it really takes a strong person and a strong family to be able to help those out who are going through this.'
