How can I update the parent's state in React?

My structure looks as follows:

Component 1

 - |- Component 2


 - - |- Component 4


 - - -  |- Component 5

Component 3

Component 3 should display some data depending on state of Component 5.

Since props are immutable, I can't simply save its state in Component 1 and forward it, right? And yes, I've read about Redux, but I don't want to use it. I hope that it's possible to solve it just with react. Am I wrong?
