On Monday, news broke that Euphoria actor Angus Cloud had died at age 25 at his family's home in Oakland, California.
“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” read a statement provided by Angus’s family. “As an artist, a friend, a brother, and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”
“Last week, he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend,” the statement continued. “Angus was open about his battle with mental health, and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence.”
“We hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter, and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss,” the statement concluded. No cause of death was given.
Several people have since taken to social media to mourn Angus's death.
As well as Euphoria cast members Javon Walton, Storm Reid, and Alexa Demie, who shared moving posts in light of their costar’s death, many other celebrities have now shared touching tributes honoring Angus.
Drake, who is an executive producer on Euphoria, shared a photo of Angus to his Instagram story and wrote, “Good soul,” alongside a crying emoji and a dove.
Meanwhile, Lukas Gage, who appeared in Season 1 of the hit HBO show, posted a group photo with Angus to his story and wrote, “Rip @anguscloud.” He also commented “rest easy angus” under a recent photo of the late actor shared to Instagram page @grantzgrillz.
Model Gigi Hadid, who worked with Angus on a Ralph Lauren commercial last December, shared a clip from the shoot as she reflected on his “kind, gentle spirit.” She wrote, “Just saw the news about the loss of Angus. I only got to work with him a couple of times, but I was immediately drawn to his kind, gentle spirit. My deepest condolences to his closest and loved ones. May he rest in peace.”
Jordyn Woods also took to her Instagram stories to honor Angus’s death, describing him as a “rare soul” in a couple of moving posts.
“I have this art piece he made me on a water bottle and I’ll keep it forever,” she wrote alongside a photo of the two. “Such a rare soul.. instantly friends from meeting when we did this event together. You will be missed,” she added afterwards.
Singer Kehlani later shared a lengthy message reflecting on Angus’s personality, and notably urged people to remember that he was far more “complex” and “solid” than his Euphoria character, Fezco.
“sat for a long time. u fucked the whole world up, but you really fucked everybody at home up. it’s a deep one. not too many words when it’s this close to home. not many words when it’s a bigger conversation,” she wrote.
“i ain’t got much more to say except the real person was more complex & more solid than a tv character. that person deserve to be remembered in totality. hugging all my patnas from back home.. direct your prayers towards his mother, his family,” she continued, before adding, “love you brudda. energy never dies. long live you.”
“not a tv character. a real person. remember that,” she later added on her Instagram story.
More celebrities who have honored Angus’s death include Julia Fox, Yara Shahidi, Marsai Martin, and Rosie O’Donnell.
“Rest easy Angus,” Julia wrote on her Instagram story, while Rosie shared a photo of the actor to her page and wrote, “dear god not fair 25 and so gifted … #anguscloud #RIP.”
13 Reasons Why actor Ross Butler also penned a heartwarming tribute to Angus as he shared a sweet photograph of the star. “A photo I never got to send to you. One of many. Or maybe I did and you didn't get em because you were never on your phone. You were always looking outward, quietly trying to fit some pieces together. Wherever you are, I hope you figured it out. Love you man,” he wrote.
