Dove Cameron shares a loving tribute to her Descendants co-star... six years after his tragic death
Dove Cameron has remembered late co-star and close friend Cameron Boyce on Wednesday, which would have been his 26th birthday. The 29-year-old actress made an emotional tribute to the actor, who died in 2019 at age 20 during a fatal seizure while sleeping at his Los Angeles home. 'I still feel you all the time. catch you in the next life. happy birthday. i love you,' wrote the versatile actress. The former Disney star shared four black-and-white photographs with her Descendants costar. One saw them goofing around, another shot showed them in an embrace then there was a cast shot from Descendants and finally there was an image of a tattoo on her arm of a gun that shot out a rose. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Soon after he passed Dove posted a video talking about her friend. 'Cameron was always good and kind,' the entertainer said. 'He was selfless and generous, he was magnanimous and arguably a true philanthropist at only 20. Beloved by anyone who had ever been lucky enough to experience his light and indescribable energy. Cameron was the ultimate example of a human being.' 'I felt really weird posting about Cameron on social media,' said the actress, who had her hair pulled back and wore dark frame glasses in the emotional clip. The red carpet regular read from a letter she penned about the actor, who portrayed Carlos to her Mal in the popular film series. 'The last 72 hours have felt like two weeks and I've spent them trying to make my thoughts and feelings into words that might communicate anything about what I'm feeling,' the Seattle native said. 'I've been unsuccessful ... my system is still in shock and my brain is still foggy and full of holes.' She paid homage to Boyce's family, saying her heart aches for them. 'Cameron was one of my favorite people alive in the world, though I know that's not unique to me,' she said. 'Cameron was magic - an earth angel.' The Hairspray Live alum said that Boyce was always a loyal and caring friend to her, offering examples of his kind nature: 'Over the last six years, since he was only 14, Cameron talked me down from countless ledges, got me through eating disorders, helped me out of a dark relationship and through endless breakdowns.' Dove opened up about their on-set interactions, recalling charming details about the professional chemistry they shared. 'He would whisper the dance moves to me on live television when I didn't know what I was doing or hold my hand quietly to communicate wordlessly when we both knew we were thinking the same thing,' she said. 'I can't count on my hands the number of times we ruined something because we couldn't stop making each other laugh.' Dove called Boyce 'undoubtedly the most talented person most of us will ever know,' noting that his actions when the cameras were off were just as magnanimous. 'Goodbye my dear, dear friend and brother, you leave behind a colossal wake, a profound chasm that can never be filled,' Dove said, 'but you also leave millions and millions of deeply impacted, hope-filled and love-filled human beings who are who they are because of you and how you spent your brief 20 years on this earth. She continued, saying, 'What a gift you were, you turned the world on its head. We can all only hope to be half of the human that you were - and you deserved so much more time. 'Goodbye to an earth angel: I will spend the rest of my life missing and loving you and all the better for knowing you.' Dove joined a long list of Boyce's former co-workers to share condolences for the actor's family following his tragic passing. They included Grown Ups co-stars, Adam Sandler, Salma Hayek and David Spade.
