Anton Yelchin's parents are always at his grave at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I've seen them there many times. It's so sad, he was their only child.

Anton Yelchin’s death hit me so hard…not just the circumstances of it, but he was an only child who died on Father’s Day and it happened to be his Star Trek co-star Zoe’a birthday as well…tragedy upon devastation

Judith Barsi’s death was so tragic because she died at the hands of her own father and had endured years of abuse by him.

I was shocked when I heard the news about Cameron Boyce’s death. He was one of my favorites.

I remember when fans successfully raised funds to give Judith Barsi and her mother a proper headstone. Such a great thing the fans did. So sad that Judith and her mother had no one else which is wonderful the fans stepped up.

Rest in peace to all the child actors who died so young

I met Jonathan Brandis shortly before he passed away & he was honestly one of the most genuine people I'd ever come across. Truly a good soul. Jonathan wanted to get into writing & directing & these were things I could've seen him doing. I remember telling him that I couldn't wait to see what he came up with. He mentioned that he had directed some short films & wanted to expand into feature films. His passing was a tragic waste.

Cameron Boyce hurts for a lot of reasons. Not only was he so talented, and far too young, but was such a kind hearted kid. My wife has epilepsy as well, so it hurts in a whole other way. It's scary to think that could happen any day.

The Anton one kills me every time. I have been to his memorial a couple times and every time I am there either his mom or dad is there as well. His father was there last Sunday when I was visiting. They still visit 6 years later. My heart hurts so much for them.

River Phoenix only 23, one of my favourite actors. RIP

Growing up in the 90's I had the biggest crush on both Lee Thompson Young and Jonathan Brandis. It's heartbreaking that depression and mental illness took them away at such a young age. Especially when they both had so more to give. Rest in Peace to all of these talented people who lost their lives way too soon 🙏🏾🕊

Brittany Murphy was so good in everything

Anton Yelchin got me back into Star Trek with his role as Chekov. Was so heartbroken when he passed. Rest In Peace

RIP to the wonderful child actors who died so soon.🙏🏾💔🕊️

Anton Yelchin is who I miss the most. Beautiful sci-fi actor whose lovable character I cherished so much. RIP buddy 😠😢😥😰💕

The sad part was that her mother cried out for help multiple times but no one helped which led to Judiths death.

Anton Yelchin hits me hard! Such a tragic accident, he was at the peak of his career, so talented. He would have been an Oscar winner for sure 😢

Cameron Boyce’s death was so shocking to me because he was the same age as me when he died. Really made me consider my own mortality after that RIP Cameron

Bobby Driscoll, who voiced Peter Pan in the classic Disney movie, died of a drug overdose. His mother didn't even know he'd died until a year later.

I was 22 when River died and at the time he was everything to me. I have never really gotten over his death. It was devastating. Still makes me cry to this day (I'm 51 now).

Heather O'Rourke often makes these sorts of lists; just as often, they tend to forget Dominique Dunn, who co-starred with O'Rourke in 'Poltergeist' in 1982 but was killed by her boyfriend in October of that year, aged only 22.

I knew the little girl who played Ducky in Land Before Time was murdered by her father but I had no idea he killed her and her mother before taking his own life afterwards! RIP to so many big names I recognize on here.

And to think what makes the deaths of these child actors even sadder is that they all had their whole lives ahead of them. but thanks to cruel fate they all got cut short, may they all rest in peace especially Cameron and River you two will always be my favorites!!!

How could you forget Rebecca Schaeffer? She was on "My Sister Sam" and killed by a fan. She was only 22 years old.

Honorable mentions: 1. Gary Coleman 2. Dustin Diamond 3. Tara Correa-McMullen (appeared in the Martin Lawrence film Rebound) 4. Dominique Dunne

Corey Haim was one of my celebrity crushes. His death hit me especially hard. I am a child of the 80s and 90s, and so "The Lost Boys," "Dream Machine," "Fast Getaway," "License to Drive," "Prayer of the Rollerboys," etc. were part of my ever-expanding list of movies I loved to watch. I'm so sorry that he fell victim to Hollywood's dark side. It absolutely disgusts me that the sickos who preyed on him, as well as other young people, have not been brought to justice. Brittany Murphy's death is still, to this day, very suspicious to me. I'm so sorry she's no longer here. She was one of my favorites. I love her as Ty in "Clueless," and also as Topanga's weird, annoying friend in an episode of "Boy Meets World." Jonathan Brandis was also one of my favorites.

Duuude! I was just thinking of Lee Thompson Young the other day! I was thinking of old Disney Channel shows and The Famous Jett Jackson popped in my head. He was one of my favorite actors as a kid

What’s really tragic is the number of these child actors who died from substance abuse. Fame may be a wealthy friend, but it’s also a hard one mentally.

Jonathan Brandis is still Shocking to me after all these years

Cameron Boyce passing was a pretty big shock. I had just watched Descendants 3 when it happened and I couldn't believe it.

I had no idea half of these child actors passed away - RIP! Urkels love interest was one of them

Ashleigh Aston Moore. She played young Chrissy in “Now and Then”, a 1995 coming-of-age film. She died in 2007 at 26 from an accidental heroin overdose.

Some of these are indeed very tragic but I never heard of many of them and I’m 62 and have seen a ton of movies and TV shows. The show Dana Plato was on seemed to be cursed. Britney Murphy seemed to have such a promising career. Anyone killing themselves is sad to hear but when it’s someone under 30 it’s devastating. I knew River Phoenix was coming up. He could have been as big a superstar as his brother Joaquin was😭

Four more child actors come to mind: Jared Nathan, who was on the PBS children’s show “Zoom,” died in a car crash at age 21 in 2006. Philip Neil Hope, who played Derek "Wheels" Wheeler on “Degrassi Junior High,” “Degrassi High,” and “Degrassi: The Next Generation” died at age 35 in 2007. Carl Steven, who played Tommy Pervis in “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,” died due to a heroin overdose at age 36 in 2011. And, most recently, Jahmil French, who played Dave Turner on “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” died at age 29 in 2021.

When Michelle Thomas died it was like someone crushing your heart. She fought hard🥀.

I miss Anton Yelchin!!!

I also mostly remember Judith Barsi's voice role as Ann-Marie in "All dogs go to heaven".

You MISSED one of my favorites!!! Skye McCole Bartusiak, she played Susan Martin, the darling little daughter of Mel Gibson in the movie The Patriot. She was also Hazel, in the movie The Cider House Rules and young Missy Davis in Love Comes Softly.....and many more movie roles. She was a very talented actress and died in July 2014 from an accidental drug overdose; found in her apartment behind her parents house. She was 21 years old.

Brand Renfro...immediate gut wrench. Right up there with my crushes from the 90s. For me personally as a fan, his death impacted me more than Heath Ledger's who was shortly after. Has been buried back in my brain for so long though that had a sudden gut reaction when I saw it because it'd been so long since he'd crossed my mind. I was too old to really know Cameron Boyce, but as someone with epilepsy myself it hits way too close to home especially given his age. List is just sad, though. In so many ways, especially little Judith Barsi.

Judith Barsi deserves to be on this list, what happened to her was a tragedy

Can’t believe it’s already been over 3 years since Cameron Boyce died! It feels like it was just yesterday I woke up to a text from my dad with a news article about his passing. I was utterly shocked and devastated, and tbh I still am.😭

I really really liked Cameron Boyce acting in “Jessie” (2011-2015) and I really really liked his Acting and Singing in “Descendants” 1, 2 and 3 (2015-2019) and I really really liked his acting “Bunk’d” (2015-2022) and The cast of were so very very Heartbroken 😭💔😭💔 and they say he was one of the best some say he was the best and may Cameron Boyce R.I.P. in Heaven (1999-2019).

Cameron Boyce's death hit me the hardest because I had epilepsy too. I'm very fortunate to be seizure-free now but I know not everyone who has epilepsy can get the same treatment that I did. While it's always good to plan ahead for the future, it's also important to enjoy life while you still can, as you never know when your last day before death will be

These are all just so sad. Another early death was the actress, Dominique Dunne, who played in a minor role in Poltergeist. She played the older sister. She was murdered by a scumbag who ended up with a 6 year sentence and only served around 2 years.

Anton, River, Corey, Jonathan, and Cameron are deaths I will never get over

River Phoenix and Jonathan Brandis are the ones i miss msot. Sadly Substance Abuse and depression go hand in hand with child stars

All of these broke my heart but River’s especially. I’ve been a fan of his for nine years since I was a child to an adult and like I say with all these others, he deserved better. With how traumatic it was for him regarding his childhood, it’s so heartbreaking to see that he saw substance abuse as a coping mechanism. He could have been something ten times greater than he already was and would have had a phenomenal career. Rest in peace and happy fifty secondth birthday River 🕊 (his birthday is in a few days). Thank you for the tremendous influence you have been to my life and always will be.

The overwhelming majority of kid actors end up train wrecks. It shows the undue influence possessed by the creeps at Disney that lawmakers are too afraid to do something to protect child stars. The only ones that ended up ok are Winnie Cooper and her real life sister who played Becky Slater, Paul Pfeiffer, the son from Hook, DJ Tanner and her brother Mike Seaver, the kid from the Ring, the little girl from Party of Five, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Ralphie from A Christmas Story. In these cases, the parents were highly involved and made sure that their kids were steered clear of the fast lane. Otherwise, they ended up like River Phoenix, the Coreys, Macaulay Culkin, Doogie Howser, Dennis the Menace, the kid with that bowl cut from 8 is Enough, Aaron Carter, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, those two girls from the Cosby Show, the younger brother on Family Ties, Drew Barrymore, Screech, Stephanie Tanner, Tatum O’Neil, Leif Garrett, the kid from Terminator 2, Buffy from Family Affair, the cast of Diff’rent Strokes and pretty much every kid who was on a show on either Disney Channel or Nickelodeon.

The young man from the newer star trek movies, I remember hearing the details surrounding his death a few years ago, I believe I was told his car rolled out and pinned him to the gate or something like that. That one was just tragic. How a relatively simple mistake or even a simple car malfunction can cost you your life, it's just a nightmare situation.

*I miss cameron Boyce so much. It's still doesn't feel real that he's gone. Whether it was suicide, accident, overdose, etc, they were still icons.*

My dad was 48 and at work began telling me his arms felt broken. This went on for months then spread throughout his legs and back. Take things seriously when someone you know who never complains, starts actually telling you things are hurting. He had a rare type of lymphoma (case #13 worldwide). His religious beliefs kept him from accepting the one procedure that could have given him a fighting chance. Sadly he bled to death slowly over two and a half days in excruciating pain. We never know when the last time we will see our loved ones will be and I try to live my life by the words of my father “don’t ever leave or go to bed angry, do not let them finally words you say be words you want to but cannot take back. Those might be the last things you get to do and say with your loved ones and don’t let that be something you will regret “. Not saying allow toxic ppl in your life but even then don’t let your anger get the best of you better to say I love you but I will not accept or allow you to bring toxicity into my life and you are welcome to be part of my life after you get your life figured out rather than something vile and hateful and on their level be the final words left between you. You in no way need to be best friends just don’t let things you feel be hateful because they take up rent free space in your head. Take care all and cherish those who cherish you and be kind you never know when the last time will be the last time.

Judith Barsi’s death absolutely breaks my heart… I can’t even watch The Land Before Time without feeling depressed hearing her voice.

Hearing Joaquin’s speech at the Oscar’s in 2020 and hearing him talk about river was hard. Also finding out that him and Rooney Mara named their son river

It's heartbreaking, so many talented actors that we lost at young ages.

Was the 27 Club We ain't making it past 21' - Juice Wrld Rest in peace to all these tragic child stars that were taken too soon

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Bobby Driscoll, the kid who played Peter Pan and Jim Hawkins from Treasure Island.

Though he didn't die as a child Jonathan Brandis instantly came to mind. RIP to everyone on this list 🙏🏻

I know that I'm getting older when I here that someone 31 died and I get upset thinking that that's way to young to pass away RIP to all these young actors that passed away to young

RIP Anton. Might be one of the worse sudden celeb deaths I remember. It hit me a diff way due to the way it happened and when it happened at the prime of his life

Brittany Murphy died of complications resulting from toxic mold. She and her husband had moved into a new home where the walls with mold had simply been painted over. Her husband was to die soon after Murphy's death and that was when the authorities discovered the apparently actual reason why Murphy died because her spouse died of the same thing. For me Brittany Murphy and Anton Yelchin were HUGE losses, they were such excellent thespians.

Anton Yelchin is one of the best I've seen & his acting skills in Star Treck has made a mark on my memory..........

Anton Yelchin is the one I miss the most. Odd Thomas was a great movie brought to life by Anton.

R.I.P. to Cameron Boyce. He was such a good person, a great actor, & an inspiration all around! Also, I had no idea that the actress who played Urkel’s other love interest died. R.I.P. to Brittany Murphy. R.I.P. to Heather O’Rourke. She was an amazing child star!

I just watched Anton last night in Fright Night…. That sent me back

I forget that Naya Rivera was also a child star. Can’t get over that one 😔

I miss Cameron Boyce 😭💜

Josh Ryan Evans also played young Grinch in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" in 2000

Even though he only acted in one movie, I only recently learned that Houston Tumlin who played Walker Bobby in Talladega Nights died from suicide after serving in the military. It's upsetting that this unfortunate death isn't well known by people.

Anton Yelchin death was a shock because I really enjoyed the new Star Trek movies. He played Chekov very well.

I work at AT&T Stadium. Been there for 10 years now. In my 1st or 2nd year (I honestly can't remember) Corey Feldman came to an event & used the elevator I was manning. I told him that I have lost a few of my brothers too so he's not alone in this huge world. He gave me a bro hug.

Another name not mentioned here is Sammi Kraft, who at age 12 played Amanda in the surprisingly good 2005 remake of The Bad News Bears. She was killed in a car accident in 2012 at age 20. Investigators found no evidence of alcohol or drugs being involved. Just a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I will never forget Gary Coleman but the one I fell in love with was Heather O Rourke who played the young girl in Poltergeist. Who knows what could have been in her future.

This is so heart breaking. I didn’t even know any of these actors were gone. Im here wondering why I’m not hearing about them anymore and bam, watch mojo hits the feelings

Still miss Cameron Boyce 😭

After seeing River Phoenix in Running On Empty, I thought I saw the most talented young actor of all time!

🙏My prayers, my condolences go out to the families and friends of these Child Stars🙏🙏

All these deaths are tragic, but River's hit me the most because he was so incredibly talented. Now we have to settle for Joaquin instead.

Anthon Yelchin and River Phoenix got to me the most.

Rest in power to my favorite role model:Lee Thompson Young.🙏🏾❤️💐✊🏾😎

rip to all the child stars who passed away your memory lives on forever

Brittany Murphy what a doll! She was so talented and beautiful. Gone way too soon! ❤️

I didn't know Jonathan Brandis was playing in "It" until recently. I always knew him as Bastian from "Neverending Story 2". It was good movie. It's was kinda shock to learn he died young.

This hits hard to home. My older brother was cast in some British childrens show back in the early 2000s. It was called Sir Gadabout and they showed it on ITV. Some sort of comedy or something I never actually watched it. Anyway they paid my parents £10,000 for a 2 year contract. He was only 15 at the time. Anyway the show got cancelled and he was left high and dry. He thought he was going to be a famous actor or something. After that he went to all of these auditions but nobody hired him. He took his own life back in 2010. He was only 23.

I have epilepsy and I didn't really realize how serious that can be until recently. I hope that are all in eternal peace.

Britanny Murphy was the sweetest and most heartwarming sunshine to ever cross this cold planet

No Merlin Santana? That one personally hurt me, because I have such a huge crush on him as a kid. He played Rudy Huxtable's boyfriend on The Cosby show, and was on the Steve Harvey show for a long time. Some girl accused him of hitting on her, and her boyfriend shot him to death while he was sitting in his car, but somehow basically got off.

They're all so tragically sad, Anton Yelchin and Jonathan Brandis are the ones that stand out for me as I was really a huge fan of theirs.

Foot note: Lee Thompson was in the film version of 'Friday Night Lights". Rest in peace.

Jonathan Brandis was a great young actor .so very sad.the two Corey's bring back so many memories 😓i think the reason frusciante disappeared for years was guilt leading river astray.he said he was haunted by ghosts during that period when he was a recluse .

Heather O'Rourke, I'm glad you mentioned her. I was going to if I didn't see her in this video. She was a cutie, that final football score in the movie, her face is Puffy. She doesn't look the way she should. God love her ❤️

Corey Haim had such a tragic childhood and was finally getting his life together.

Good tribute video, may they all rest in peace.

Dana Hill was an amazing talent.

Bobby Driscoll also passed away young too. Poor man. Disney throw him out because he was getting old for them.

These are so sad. I was just watching a movie with Brad Renfro. It is a sad movie called The Cure. He also plays in Tom and Huck. Brittany Murphy dying makes it hard to see Girl Interrupted. Where she hangs herself. I remember River Phoenix. And Johnathan Brandis. And the girl FROM Poltergeist. And Dana White I remember. But the one that shocked me the most was the kid from Everybody loves Raymond. Because it is one of my favorite shows. I can't imagine going through that with one of your kids. Or being his twin. I remember they were afraid his brother would do the same thing. People who do this have no idea how much they hurts others.

Miss you Cameron And Anton. At least he was able to record the rest of his lines for Jim Lake Jr in Trollhunters. I sure do miss him.

Judith barsi is the saddest in my eyes…😢😢

Jonathan Brandis was the one who took me by surprise... I'd watched SeaQuest DSV a few years before he died. Also, list is missing Heath Ledger who died way too young (he started acting at 13, so he should count as a child actor). Paul Walker also started acting at 12, and died at only 40.
