AceShowbiz - Sabrina Carpenter and Cameron Boyce's "Descendants" co-star Dove Cameron have broken their silence, three days after the actor's tragic death. Taking to their respective Instagram page, both actresses express their grief and sorrow over the loss of their good friend.
Posting her picture with the late actor, Sabrina writes in the lengthy caption, "you are something extraordinarily special cam. i cannot grasp what a world without you looks like yet, nor do i want to. nothing i can write will feel right, or pay enough tribute to how incredible you actually are, but all i know is i am so beyond lucky to have known you and eternally grateful for the times you and i shared together."
She admits, "I feel very sick to my stomach writing this, and i wish i could hug you." She goes on remembering her friend, "you had the most incredible mind, spirit, sense of humor, heart, and too much talent for your own good. you were an angel on earth and i can only imagine all the sensational things you would have done had this world given you more time."
"you will be so f***ing missed. but absolutely never forgotten," she adds, before sending her condolences to Cameron's family, "to your family, i am sending all the love in the world as i can't imagine how you are feeling in this time." She concludes her post, "see you again one day cam."
Dove, who stars alongside Cameron in Disney's original movie "Descendants", gets emotional as she reads a letter that she has written about the actor. Revealing that she just got back from therapy, the 23-year-old actress says, "The only way to get through it right now is to... be expressive and connective, so I wrote something that I'm gonna try to read."
"The last 72 hours have felt like two weeks and I have spent them trying to make my thoughts and feeling into words," she says in a series of videos. "I've been unsuccessful thinking about trying to summarize something where there are no adequate words in the English language... My system is still in shock, my brain is still foggy and full of holes."
"My heart aches for you. I'm broken for you," she continues, fighting back tears. "I have close to nothing left, which tells me some small percentage of how you must feel." Dove begins sobbing as she remembers her friend, "Cameron was one of my favorite people alive in the world, though I know that's not unique to me. Cameron was magic, an earth angel."
"Over the last six years, since he was only 14, Cameron talked me down from countless ledges, talked me through eating disorders, helped me out of a dark relationships and through endless break downs... I can't count the amount of times on my hands we ruined something because we couldn't stop making each other laugh," she shares.
"Goodbye my dear, dear friend and brother," she bids her farewell. "I will spend the rest of my life missing and loving you and all the better for knowing you."
Also paying tribute to the 20-year-old actor is his former "Jessie" co-star and roommate Karan Brar. Struggling to find the words to express his feelings, he writes, "you were the greatest thing to have ever happened to me. i love you so much cam. wish i had more to say right now but i don't think words will come for a while," along with a photo of Cameron smiling brightly while lying on the beach.
Cameron passed away on Saturday, July 6 after suffering a seizure in his sleep. An autopsy has been performed, but release of a cause of death was deferred, "pending further investigation."
