Dove Cameron has broken hearts worldwide with a heartfelt tribute to her former Descendants co-star and close friend, Cameron Boyce. On what should have been his 26th birthday, the actress wrote an emotional tribute to her friend on Instagram, sharing raw, emotional words and never-before-seen images that captured their close friendship. This gave fans a window into how special their connection was and the legacy Cameron has left behind.

Cameron Boyce, the Disney Channel star died from a seizure stemming from epilepsy. His death at age 20 shocked the entertainment world and left fans worldwide bereft. Now, six years after the loss, the pain is still being felt, none more so than by those who knew him most.

"I still feel you all the time," Dove wrote to her million followers next to a carousel of black-and-white images. Every picture was worth a thousand words, genuine moments of laughter, joy, and the undeniable bond they'd built over the years. One photo that particularly tugged at our heartstrings was Dove, Cameron, and their Descendants castmates Sofia Carson and Booboo Stewart on set happy, smiling, and carefree in sharp contrast to the pain left in Cameron's absence.

The last photograph that touched her the most was a close-up of a tattoo on Dove's arm. The dainty ink featured a gun with a rose blooming from the barrel, a powerful symbol of peace, transformation, and remembrance. Dove has previously shared that the tattoo was inspired by Cameron's activism around gun violence, and now the ink is a constant reminder of his passion for change and his spirit that continues to live on.
