    Cameron Boyce's Descendants co-stars have paid tribute to the late star on the sixth anniversary of his death

    The Disney actor passed away at the age of just 20 when he suffered a seizure in his sleep due to epilepsy and on Sunday (06.07.25), he was remembered as an "angel" by his friends


    Sofia Carson shared a behind-the-scenes cast photo and wrote on Instagram: "Our Angel. Forever."

    Booboo Stewart shared the same photo on his own Instagram Story, while Sarah Jeffrey shared a photo of herself with Cameron "on a BC ferry to Victoria to shoot more of Descendants."

    She added: "Life is good. Miss you Cam."

    Meanwhile, Jenna Ortega recently reflected on the last time she saw Cameron, explaining how she felt "uncomfortable" when they were put in a "weird" position and asked to kiss during an audition, but her friend spoke up for her.

    Speaking to French TV outlet Canal+, she said: "The last time I saw my friend Cameron Boyce - I'd known him since I was like 11 or 12, and we were supposed to kiss [in an audition] and he knew me, since I was 11 or 12. This is a few years later, 15, 16, came in, we were supposed to be love interests.

    "But because he obviously felt weird and he was a bit older, he was like - we both just kinda looked at each other and we were like, 'No, we can't do this.'

    "And it was so sweet because I was uncomfortable and I was having a hard time. .. And then, we wished each other well."

    Jenna was "really thankful and grateful" to Cameron for speaking up, and agreed with her Beetlejuice Beetlejuice co-star Catherine O'Hara when she said he had been a "gentleman".

    Following his tragic death, the actor's family set up the Cameron Boyce Foundation to provide "young people artistic and creative outlets as alternatives to violence and negativity".

    At the time of his passing, Cameron's "utterly heartbroken" family remembered him as one of the world's "brightest lights".

    They said in a statement at the time: "It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron.

    "He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated. The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him.

    "We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother."
