The cast of Euphoria has paid tribute to the late Angus Cloud following his sudden death on Monday.

The 25-year-old’s tragic passing was announced on July 31st after his family made a heartbreaking statement.

Angus was best known for his role as Fezco in the HBO series, Euphoria.

His family released a statement to TMZ describing the actor as an “incredible human” who was “so special” and will be missed by all who knew him.

They also confirmed that the star was struggling with mental health, and said that they hope “his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence.”

Following the sad news, Angus’ Euphoria co-stars and crew have penned tributes to their friend.

The writer and creator of the hit HBO show Sam Levinson wrote: “There was no one quite like Angus. He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon.”

He went on to speak about his mental health, which had worsen following the death of his father Conor Hickey earlier this month.

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.”

Alexa Demie, who plays Maddy, also paid tribute, sharing a heartbreak emoji on Instagram when the news broke.

Storm Reid, who plays Gia on the show, shared a clip of Angus’ character Fex and wrote: “The tears just won’t stop.”

Announcing his death, the family’s full statement read: “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.

“We hope the world remembers him for his humour, laughter and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss.”
