Raleigh once had a half-sister in Nikki Bacharach, whom their father welcomed with actress Angie Dickinson. Sadly, Nikki died by suicide in April 2012 at age 40 after spending years struggling with Asperger's syndrome.
Raleigh has another half-sibling, Christopher, whose mother is Carole Bayer Sager. Burt married the actress in 1982 after having worked with her.

A day before Valentine's Day in 2023, Oliver, Raleigh's older brother, uploaded a video of his good times with their father. He revealed how close he'd been to the late artist he called his "best friend." The pair traveled the world together, shared music, and made people and themselves happy.
When they came across a piano at an airport, Oliver would make his father play it, leading to a crowd, or sometimes no one noticed. The post was a dedication to Burt, who died at the age of 94 on February 8, 2023, at his Los Angeles home.
