Disney Channel star Cameron Boyce, 20, died in his sleep Saturday night of what was announced as "an ongoing medical condition." Walt Disney Company chairman and CEO Robert Iger confirmed Boyce's death Sunday morning in "The Walt Disney Company mourns the loss of #CameronBoyce, who was a friend to so many of us, and filled with so much talent, heart and life, and far too young to die. Our prayers go out to his family and his friends," he wrote. "It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron," a spokesperson said on behalf of the Boyce family. "He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated. The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him." Disney Channel star Cameron Boyce Disney Channel via YouTube "We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother." Boyce starred on the Disney Channel film franchise "Descendants" and the channel's TV series "Jessie." Raised in the Los Angeles area, he made his acting debut in the 2008 supernatural thriller "Mirrors" and also starred alongside Adam Sandler in the 2010 film "Grown Ups." Sandler tweeted "All of our hearts are broken," Sandler said in part. "Thinking of your amazing family and sending our deepest condolences."

Boyce's parents said in a statement earlier this month that was read by "The Descendants" actor Dove Cameron that "what was special about Cameron was who he was in the small moments when maybe no one was looking." "The moments in between the big ones when he didn't have to be good or kind, Cameron was always good and kind. He was selfless and generous. He was magnanimous," the parents' statement said.

The 16 Wishes actress, 26, posted one clip of herself in character as Jessie Prescott embracing Boyce’s Luke Ross in a hug from the hit Disney Channel show. In a second post, Ryan penned a heartbreaking message. “This ripped me up. I keep trying and I can’t make anything make sense. He was blameless, and relentlessly joyful; he was good. Through and through, Cam is good, in all ways and to all people. And the most alive,” the Alabama native wrote alongside a selfie of the costars. “It’s wrong.” Ryan continued: “I am so confused and devastated and angry. But that isn’t very Cam. He’d cast any shade of sadness or darkness in colors of positivity; he couldn’t help himself but to always leave you smiling, or laughing, or dancing. So sincere, kid Truth. He was good.” The “Ruthless” songstress went on to note that her heart is with Boyce’s “parents, Vic and Libby, full of grace, and his wonderful sister Maya,” calling his death “an unimaginable sorrow.” After Ryan added that she’s “grateful” for their “Jessie family,” she concluded: “There are beautiful connections and beams of light, ever present, truly the fingerprints of Cam still around and showing up in the midst of this. I love him so much. Forever. You’re alive in the legacy of love you built, and I will keep that light burning in me for the rest of my journey. The world was robbed. We’re better for you.”
