Sharing a series of snaps of his children Coco and Cooper, his wife Storm and the stunning scenery, Ronan wrote: "Hey Everyone.
"Just wanted to say thank you for the love and respect you have shown my family over the last 5 weeks. It has been the hardest time for us all, and everyone is trying to manage a life now without our brother (very hard to even type that).
"Thank you for all your messages of support and also respecting our privacy during this time. There is no more fitting a place to heal, than in South Africa surrounded by Mother Nature and great people and our little bundles of joy Cooper and Coco, have kept us going constantly. Thank you god.
"Back to work for me in another part of the world I love now… it all seems rather difficult to make sense of but trying my best.
"Take care of each other and from Storm, myself and all my family, thank you."
The comments were flooded with further support from fans.
"I can’t imagine how hard the last 5 weeks have been for you and your family my heart breaks for you all. We’ve all been thinking about you all and sending all the love in the world your way. You’ve shown so much strength in carrying on with gigs etc when I’m sure you just wanted to be at home with your family. So much respect for you and so proud - you’ve all definitely done Ciaran proud too. Lots of love to you, Storm, the kids and all your family stay strong and look after each other," wrote one follower.
Another wrote: "Thinking of you all during this difficult time no words will ease your pain and sadness, cherish the memories."
"So glad you are able to reflect and heal in our beautiful city and land. Take care," wrote another.
