Javon Walton pays tribute to Euphoria co-star Angus Cloud following his death

Tributes have been pouring in following the news that Angus Cloud has died at the age of 25.

The Euphoria actor, who played Fezco on the hit HBO series, tragically passed away this week.

His family has released a statement confirming the news and they said: "It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today.

"As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.

"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.

"Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence."

One of Cloud's co-stars from Euphoria has released a photo of them together and praised their 'forever family'.

Javon Walton played Ashtray O'Neill on the show, who was Fezco's unofficial adoptive brother.

He was gunned down in a huge cliffhanger at the end of season two while Cloud's character narrowly escapes being shot.

The 17-year-old posted another photo with the caption 'rest easy brother'.

Storm Reid, who plays Zendaya’s on-screen little sister, Gia Bennett, posted a scene from Euphoria and said 'the tears just won’t stop'.

Walton and Reid were joined by other celebrities who paid their respects to Cloud.
