Euphoria Stars Share Tributes for Angus Cloud as Hollywood Reacts to His Death

The actor's family confirmed his death to TMZ on Monday, with a statement beginning, "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," the statement continued. "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."

He was just 25.

Cloud was most known for his work as Fez on the HBO show, which was also his Hollywood debut. Following news of his death, a number of his costars and collaborators from the series took to social media to pay tribute to the late star.

On Wednesday afternoon, Hunter Schafer wrote that she was "trying to figure out what to say, but idk if any combination of words can articulate all of the big feelings."

"for now i just wanna say: Angus was a sunshine. to have known his warmth, his light, and his love was nothing short of a gift. i'm so grateful to have shared so many enormous fits of laughter, so many sweet moments, and the joy of getting to make something together that we loved so much," she continued. "i love you angus 💗 thank you for everything. my heart goes out to his family and his loved ones and family right now.

Maude Apatow, whose character Lexi shared a romantic storyline with Fez, remembered Cloud as "the funniest person ever" in a post on Wednesday.

"I would get so excited to see on the schedule that we would be working together because I knew we'd have the best day, laughing so hard," she shared. "He was the sweetest and made everyone around him so happy. He was just the best. Words can't really capture how magical of a person he was. My heart is broken."

"Angus, getting to know and work with you was one of the greatest joys and blessings of my life," she concluded. "I will love you forever. ❤️

"Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus (Conor). I'm so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh (I'm smiling now just thinking of it)," wrote Zendaya on Tuesday.

"I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love… 'they could light up any room they entered' but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it. I'd like to remember him that way," her post continued. "For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I'll cherish every moment."

She concluded: "My heart is with his mother and family at this time and please be kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone."

Sydney Sweeney posted on Tuesday as well, starting her tribute by saying, "Angus you were an open soul, with the kindest heart, and you filled every room with laughter."

"This is the hardest thing ive ever had to post, and im struggling to find all the words. You will be missed more than you know, but I'm so blessed to have known you in this lifetime, and I'm sure everyone who has ever met you feels the same," she continued. "This heartache is real and I wish we could've had one more hug and 711 run. All my love is with you."

"I love you so much. you will be missed tremendously," Barbie Ferreira also posted.

In a statement, series creator Sam Levinson said, "There was no one quite like Angus. He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon. 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."

Drake, who is an executive producer on the series, took to his Instagram Story to remember Cloud as a "good soul." Costar Alexa Demie simply shared a broken heart emoji, while Storm Reid wrote, "The tears just won't stop."

Javon Walton, who played Ashtray on the series, also paid tribute on Instagram -- sharing a photo of them together and adding, "rest easy brother❤️🕊️" He also shared a photo of them to his Story, with the caption, "Forever family."

Colman Domingo, meanwhile, posted a cast photo to his page and captioned it, "And that was his smile. That was him. May he rest sweetly in peace."

In the comments of Domingo's post, Natasha Lyonne, Leslie Grace and Jurnee Smollett all left messages of support. His Fear the Walking Dead costar Alicia Debnam-Carey also wrote, "I'm so sorry," while Kim Dickens added, "Unthinkable, I’m so sorry, sending love ♥️"

In his tribute, Ross Butler posted a photo he "never got to send" to Cloud, showing the actor in the snow.

"One of many. Or maybe I did and you didn't get em because you were never on your phone. You were always looking outward, quietly trying to fit some pieces together," he continued. "Wherever you are, I hope you figured it out. Love you man."

In a lengthy post, Kehlani also mourned his loss on Instagram. "Sat for a long time. u f---ed the whole world up, but you really f---ed everybody at home up. it's a deep one. not too many words when it's this close to home. not many words when it's a bigger conversation. i ain't got much more to say except the real person was more complex & more solid than a tv character," she wrote. "that person deserve to be remembered in totality. hugging all my patnas from back home.. direct your prayers towards his mother, his family.  love you brudda. energy never dies. long live you 🫀"

Gigi Hadid, who worked with Cloud on a Ralph Lauren campaign, saying that while they only worked together "a couple of times," she was "instantly drawn to his kind, gentle spirit." She added, "My deepest condolences to his closest and loved ones. May he rest in peace."

"Fez was the spiritual center of Euphoria and definitely my fav character on the show," Questlove wrote in his post. "Love to his entire family and to those who knew him. #AngusCloud"

On her Stories, Jordyn Woods said Cloud was "such a rare soul," saying the two became friends "instantly" and adding, "You will be missed."

Queer Eye's Karamo Brown also shared a Story in which he wrote, "This breaks my heart. May he RIP," while Shaun White shared a picture of them together and wrote, "Man I'm heartbroken RIP."

Yara Shahidi commented, "Heartbreaking Rest In Peace," Vinny Guadagnino wrote "Damn RIP" to his Story, while Rosie O'Donnell shared, "💔💔😞 dear god not fair 25 and so gifted … #anguscloud #RIP"

On Twitter, Rachel Zegler reacted by writing, "please remember how loved you are. this world is so quick to make you feel otherwise. there are reasons to stick around. and this world needs you. oh, angus. we celebrate you."
