She did not reveal the cause of his death, although some outlets reported that he died probably due to a hard fight with cancer.
Pink's father, Jim Moore, died reportedly of cancer on Thursday, according to Page Six. Pink's real name is Alecia Moore. The Vietnam veteran died just over a month after completing his second round of prostate cancer chemotherapy.
"Til forever," Pink, 41, captioned a snapshot of her dancing with her father that included two black-and-white photos of her as a youngster and an adult.
"Oh my love. Your precious heart. Oh it's so hard," commented photographer Jade Beall.
"Worst pain. love you," added author Jen Pastiloff.
"I loved him so," wrote actor Kerri-Kenney Silver, a good friend of Pink's.

"Here he is, my Dad, scared and in pain sitting with the love of his life, our Grace, and what's he doing???? Smiling. Cracking jokes. Making everyone else feel better," she captioned a photo of him in his hospital bed at the time.
"He's already back to his old tricks ten hours later, talking about napalm and snipers and viruses and blood puddles...," she added.
"Dad, I'm sorry. It's incredible to see you whistle your way through Hell "She added. The singer tweeted a throwback shot of herself playing onstage with Moore just the day before the impending death, unknowing about her father's faith. "Daddy-Sir," she simply captioned the photo.
Jim had long been one of Pink's biggest supporters regardless of having divorced her mother, Judy Moore, when Pink was still a child. In 2000, he enthused to the Philadelphia City Paper about her still-burgeoning career.
"Nothing's better than and wilder than seeing her do this," he raved. "She said she was going to do it as a kid and she meant it," he added.
