Say something simple like, "I love you, too." If you're unsure of how you feel or you're not quite ready to say it back, that's fine, too! Try responding with something simple and direct like, "I'm sorry, I just need some time to figure out how I feel." Be honest with both them and yourself about how you feel.

It's generally best simply to express your sympathy and let them tell you how they feel. And it's much better to say, "I don't know what to say", than to say nothing at all. Don't suggest what a bereaved parent should be feeling or doing. Everyone grieves in their own way and there are no time limits.
