Actor Anton Yelchin dies aged 27

He also made an appearance in a task in CBB8

Quote:

Anton Yelchin, who played Chekov in recently released Star Trek films, has died in a car accident at the age of 27.

The actor had risen to prominence with several blockbuster films in recent years - and has a starring role in Star Trek Beyond, which is due to be released in July.

Publicist Jennifer Allen confirmed Yelchin was killed early on Sunday morning.

According to TMZ, the star died in a "freak accident" after getting pinned between his car and a brick mailbox at his home.

Yelchin was discovered after concerned friends visited his home in San Fernando Valley, California, because he had failed to attend a rehearsal hours earlier.

An only child, Yelchin was born in Russia and moved to the US as a baby with his parents, who were professional figure skaters.

Fellow TV and film stars, as well as fans, have begun paying tribute to Yelchin on Twitter.

British comedian Matt Lucas wrote: "Dreadful news about Anton Yelchin. I thought he was an amazing actor."

Actress Anna Kendrick described Yelchin's death as "unreal" and a "huge loss".

Oh my God! that's so sad he was so talented!

Joined the 27 club too

Jesus, I started to watch some of his films lately as well :(

Omg this is tragic, I loved him in Star Trek :(

As someone said, cancel 2016, they're all dying. Just watched his film the other day, fright night.

RIP young man.

Awful news :/ only knew a handful of his films (first Star Trek, Charlie Bartlett & New York I Love You) but he seemed talented and a nice guy.

Absolutely gutted by this. He's in one of my favourite ever films "Rudderless" which will be very emotional the next time I watch it

Oh wow :sad:

He was a very talented actor, I'd seen a lot of his films over the years. I'm shocked.

...wow, a complete shock..so very young, so very tragic...:sad:...

Way too young to die :(

RIP

It's gonna be hard for his co-stars promoting Star Trek Beyond these next few weeks, it's probably all the press will be asking them about.

I've only seen him in star trek but he was so good. Way too young RIP :(

It rolled back on him, apparently the jeep in question is subject to recall as it rolled when in the Park position
