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.

When news broke of the death of the 27-year-old Yelchin, many took to social media to share their condolences.

Yelchin recently finished the third film of the rebooted Star Trek trilogy, Star Trek: Beyond, which is set to be released this summer. Yelchin played the role of Pavel Chekov, a Russian specialist. His co-star John Cho, who played Hikaru Sulu, tweeted his devastation at the loss.

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.”
