An outpouring of tributes to actor Angus Cloud, best known for his charming role of Fezco on "Euphoria," started soon after news of the 25-year-old's death became public on Monday.
Cloud's family did not share a cause of death. In a statement the actor's representative shared with USA TODAY, they wrote, "Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend."
Actor and boxer Javon "Wanna" Walton, who portrayed Ashtray, the adopted younger brother of Cloud's Fezco, posted a photo with the late actor to his Instagram Story with a simple tribute: "forever family ♥." Walton also shared a photo of the two hugging with the caption "rest easy brother."
During the red carpet for Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood event last summer, where Cloud was honored, the two reunited and caught up with Entertainment Tonight.
"Anything we do, we support each other," Cloud said of Walton at the time, and called him "family."

"Euphoria" creator Sam Levinson told The Associated Press in a statement that "there was no one quite like Angus."
"He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon," Levinson added. "He also struggled, like many of us, with addiction and depression. I hope he knew how many hearts he touched. I loved him. I always will. Rest in peace and God bless his family.”
Storm Reid, sister to Zendaya's character Rue on "Euphoria," shared a clip from an episode of the show and wrote, "the tears just won't stop."
Drake shared a photo of Cloud to his Instagram Story, calling the actor a "good soul."
Model Gigi Hadid shared a video of the two dancing in an ad for Ralph Lauren and recalled being "immediately drawn" to him.
