Lili Reinhart has shared a heartbreaking tribute to her Riverdale co-star Luke Perry.
The Hollywood actor sadly passed away on Monday at the age of 52, after suffering a massive stroke last week.
After the news of his death broke, Lili took to Twitter to express her disbelief.
She wrote: “I’m finding it hard to grasp that he will no longer be around to give long hugs and share his wisdom and kindness with all of us. I’m thinking of his family. His children. I pray for them to heal and find peace in this devastating loss. I just can’t believe it.”

I’m thinking of his family. His children.
I pray for them to heal and find peace in this devastating loss.

The actress also addressed Luke’s devastating passing on her Instagram Story by writing, “It’s strange to see the world move on. When someone you love, gets taken from you. And the small circumference surrounding you is stuck.”
“Frozen in a moment. Of loss. And shock. Yet the people passing you are moving at full speed. Did they not feel the earth shake? Or slow? Can they hear the thoughts screaming in my head? His name.”
“His face. Memories. Flashes. Of a friend. A lost friend. We always expect the earth to stand still. For the universe to grieve the loved ones we have lost, along with us. But it keeps moving. Maybe as a sign that we should too. The movement of strangers, like a wave, taking us with them.”
“So we ebb and flow with the passage of others, coasting off their energy and conserving our own. Because it’s too hard to give anything right now. To anyone. Except for him. The one we’ve lost. And I pray that he’s silently moving in tandem with us. Guiding us through the waves even when we can’t swim.”
