The son of WWE legend Kevin Nash has tragically passed away aged 26.

In a statement shared on behalf of Kevin, 63, and his wife Tamara Nash, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com confirmed the tragic news and asked that people respect the family at this time.

Tristen Nash's death was listed in the statement, which explained that he and his dad had been enjoying their time together while working on Kevin's Kliq This podcast.

It reads: "On behalf of Kevin and Tamara Nash, I have to unfortunately report that their son Tristen Nash has tragically passed away at the age of 26.

"The Nash family asks if you could please respect their privacy during this time."

Sean also wrote in the caption: "Very unfortunate news to share. Sending love to the family of Tristen Nash."

Tributes continue to pour in for the family, with one writing on Twitter: "Oh dear God. Absolutely tragic. Praying for both of them.

"I cannot imagine losing a child. My heart is absolutely shattered for them."

Another said: "Awful news. My condolences go out to the Nash family. Kevin always spoke so highly of him."

A third added: "This is tragic. Sending love to the family and all who are mourning this loss."

That includes fellow WWE Hall of Famer Iron Sheik, who said: "KEVIN NASH MY HEART BREAK FOR YOU BUBBA. I LOVE YOU FOREVER."

Meanwhile, Matt Hardy said: "My thoughts are with Kevin Nash & his family following the passing of his son. It's absolutely tragic."

The star's pal Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman shared a picture of the pair together, writing: "My heart is in a million pieces thinking about what 1 of my best friends in life is going through. IU 4-Life Kev."

Kevin kicked off his career with the WCW before switching to the WWE, known as the WWF at the time, in 1993.

Although he used to perform under the alter-ego Diesel, he later switched to his real name and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2015 and in 2020 as a member of the New World Order.

Tristen was the only son of Kevin and Tamara's, and was pursuing a career in music and podcasting.
