On what would have been Cameron Boyce’s 26th birthday, Dove Cameron and fellow Descendants cast members paid tribute to the late Disney star, who passed away in 2019 due to epilepsy complications.

On Wednesday, May 28, Dove Cameron honored her close friend and former co-star by posting a series of black-and-white photos on Instagram.

The post included touching images of the two embracing, a tattoo Dove got in his honor (a firearm with roses, symbolizing Boyce’s anti-gun violence advocacy), and a group photo with Descendants co-stars Sofia Carson and Booboo Stewart.

Carson also shared a tribute, featuring a photo of Boyce mid-dance with the caption, “Keep dancing in heaven, my Cam. Earth could never be the same without you.” Stewart posted a Story saying, “Love you always, happy birthday,” over a nostalgic image of them sharing a milkshake.

Director Kenny Ortega, who worked closely with Boyce on the Descendants films, wrote a heartfelt message praising Boyce’s light and legacy, encouraging fans to support the Cameron Boyce Foundation. The organization focuses on using the arts for positive change and raising awareness about SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy).

Cameron Boyce’s memory continues to inspire through the foundation's mission and the ongoing love from those who knew and admired him.
