Jared Padalecki cancelled a scheduled appearance at the #JIBCON convention in Rome. The Supernatural actor took to Twitter to explain his absence on Friday, saying he was “in desperate and urgent need of my family.”
Dear #JIBCON and #AHBL6. I am in desperate and urgent need of my family. I am so sorry to tell you this but I must head home.

I need all of the love I can get right now. Please please give me a few seconds of your time and write me. #AlwaysKeepFighting — Jared Padalecki (@jarpad) May 16, 2015
Jared’s second tweet included #AlwaysKeepFighting, a reference to his and costar Jensen Ackles’s t-shirt campaign that supports people struggling with depression, addiction, and suicidal thoughts. The actor appeared to be in high spirits just two days before his message to fans. Wednesday, he shared a photo with a group of guys, writing, “Thank you to my new Swiss friends!”

Jensen represented their show and bonded with CW fans in Italy. Despite not being able to create new memories with his best bud, Jensen entertained the crowd with dancing and plenty of jokes and singing. Jensen at one point did address that his best friend was not there with him, and even had tears in his eyes.
We are not sure what Jared or his family is going through, but we hope all turns out for the best and we will #AlwaysKeepFighting
