Peyton List, 21, took to Instagram to reveal she is “heartbroken” over the death of her Jessie co-star Cameron Boyce. The actor, who played Peyton’s on-screen brother Luke Ross, passed away at the age of 20 due to “a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition”, his family confirmed. Peyton, who starred in the Disney Channel series as Emma Ross, shared a poignant tribute to Cameron in view of her 14 million followers this evening. She wrote: “Cameron. The boy whose contagious laugh I can still hear. The boy who left everyone feeling hopeful and full of love.
“He was younger than me but taught me how to spread love and kindness more than anyone that has ever been in my life.
“He lifted everyone around him, and inspired/pushed me to be a better person than I ever would’ve been without his guidance, patience, and love.”
The actress continued: “I can barely see my eyes anymore from crying so hard. Cameron I love you with every ounce of me, and I thank you for the time I had with you, being in my life, and being my brother forever and always.
“There is a hole in my heart that will never heal left for you. I will never stop talking about you.”
Peyton then reflected on Cameron’s legacy, as she added: “My kids will hear about you with every lesson and your legacy will live on.
“Too much talent and love to go so soon. You left everyone including me better than when you found them.”
The star concluded: “Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. Wish I could hug you one last time Cam. My heart is broken I’ve never hurt this bad. Your sister forever and always Peyton.”
In response to Peyton’s emotional post, Josie Totah, who starred alongside her in Jessie replied: “I love you Pey.”
American actor Cameron Monaghan, 25, added: “Beautifully said, Pey. The many times I met him through you, he was a force of energy, personality, kindness, and talent. The world lost a good one this weekend and I’m so sorry for your loss.”
Fellow Jessie actress Skai Jackson, 17, commented: “I love you so much.”
Skai also posted her own tribute to Cameron in view of her four million Instagram followers alongside a series of photos of the pair working together on set.
