Actor Donal Logue has launched a fresh appeal in the search of his missing 16-year-old transgender daughter who disappeared more than a week ago. 

Logue clarified that his daughter Jade Logue was not a runaway but was still missing, as the teen was last seen in New York City on June 26. 

The desperate father has posted multiple times on social media, enlisting the public's help in finding his child when she didn't come home after meeting a friend.

In an update Wednesday morning, the Gotham star posted a photo of Jade posing with actor Gilles Marini and said: 'She is not back- that's why we want her back.'

Donal Logue is still searching for his missing transgender daughter Jade, 16, who disappeared in New York City on June 26. The Gotham actor posted a photo Wednesday of Jade with actor Gilles Marini and said: 'She is not back- that's why we want her back' (pictured)

Logue, 51, said on Twitter that Jade didn't run away from home but was classified as a missing person.

He tweeted: 'Any info on JADE LOGUE, please call 1-800-THE-LOST. @john_walsh for LEO’s, this child is MISSING-not a runaway- Special Category Missing.' 

Logue went on to share a recent picture of him with Jade and French-American actor Gilles Marini.

He later clarified the photo was taken before Jade disappeared and said: 'This is an old picture (though recent) she is not back- that’s why we want her back.'

Earlier in the search, Logue penned a note on Facebook to his fans asking for help in bringing Jade home.

'This is my daughter, Jade. It's one of my favorite photos of her taken from a happier time,' he wrote, along with a picture of his daughter with a frog on her nose.

'I love all people and have met tons, but honestly (I'm biased) there's never been a more loving, innocent, cuddly child than Jade.

Donal wrote this emotional message on Facebook in the early hours of Sunday morning

'I love her and who she is and her tribe is strong (I've met many wonderful people through Jade), but there are some predators who swim among their ranks knowing they're dealing with sweet, trusting souls. 

'We want you home Jade. Whoever knows where she is, whoever may be with her - clearly this thing has become big and crazy.

He continued: 'The net has been flung far and wide and luckily, I have dogged teams from the NYPD, FBI, and others involved. 

'The point is, you may have had good intentions to help her, but I'm sure you realize that this situation is bigger than you could've anticipated.

'It's okay. Just drop her off. Let her get back in touch with her mother, Kasey, or me - we'll take her back, with hugs and no questions asked.'

Jade Logue was last seen wearing a green sweatshirt in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center on June 26. She is transgender and was previously known as Arlo Logue.

New York City police said there has been no updates in the case since Monday morning. 

Several other celebrities, including Danny Trejo, stepped up to post notices on social media asking others to help find Jade.

The actor wrote a message to whoever may be with his daughter, reading: 'The point is, you may have had good intentions to help her, but I'm sure you realize that this situation is bigger than you could've anticipated'

Jade's mother, Kasey Smith, also posted a plea on social media, with the desperate mother sharing a video on Twitter.

'If you're watching, if you're able to be on social media - however wherever you're at -please know that we're looking for you, we want you home,' she said in the minute-long video.

'Jade's gender and her sexual orientation does not matter here. What matters here is there's a child out there, my baby and Donal's baby, out there missing.

 'Jade's story is for Jade to tell, when and if she's ever ready to tell it.' 

'And let that be hers. It's not yours, it's not anyone else's and it's not mine. I respect her but all I want right now is for her to be at home.' 

Logue had his big breakthrough back in 2000 with his role in the Sundance hit 'The Tao of Steve,' and since that time has starred in a number of film and television roles.

The actor won a special jury price for his work in 'Tao of Steve' at Sundance that year.

He has been seen on the big screen in films including 'Just Like Heaven,' 'Ghost Rider,' and 'Zodiac,' while his television work includes five seasons of 'Grounded for Life' and two seasons on the long-running 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.'

Logue also appeared on the critically acclaimed 'Sons of Anarchy,' 'Terriers' and 'Vikings,' all for one season.
