Early Sunday morning, Anton Yelchin died after being pinned to a brick mailbox pillar by his Jeep Grand Cherokee in front of his Los Angeles home.

Other Star Trek: Beyond cast members that shared their grief included Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban.

Star Trek producer J. J. Abrams posted a hand-written note calling the late actor “brilliant,” “funny as hell,” and “supremely talented.”

A representative for Yelchin released the following statement: “His family requests you respect their privacy at this time.”
