Zendaya has posted a tribute to her Euphoria co-star Angus Cloud after the actor died at just 25 years old.
The Spider-Man star shared her thoughts about the loss of Cloud after his death was confirmed by his family yesterday (31 July).
No cause of death has yet been given for Cloud, but his publicist, Cait Bailey, said he died at his family home in Oakland.
In a statement, his family said: “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today.

“As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways … The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend.
"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.”
Cloud's death came just recently after the loss of his dad, which Cloud had 'intensely struggled' with, according to his family.
The actor, whose full name was Conor Angus Cloud Hickey, was known for playing drug dealer Fezco “Fez” O’Neill in Euphoria, starring alongside Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi and Hunter Schafer.
Zendaya is among a number of co-stars to share a tribute to Cloud in the wake of his death.
Alongside a picture of her co-star, she wrote: "Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus (Conor). I’m so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh (I’m smiling now just thinking of it).
"I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love…“they could light up any room they entered” but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it. I’d like to remember him that way. For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I’ll cherish every moment.
"My heart is with his mother and family at this time and please be kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone."
Storm Reid, who plays Zendaya's on-screen younger sister Gia Bennett in the show, wrote in her own tribute: "The tears just won't stop."
Euphoria was the first show Cloud had ever been cast in.
