The 26-year-old actress shared a heartfelt Instagram post on Tuesday, honoring her “brother” and the joy he brought to her life.
She posted a black and white photo of Cloud and wrote a touching caption.
The ‘Spider-Man No Way Home’ star concluded the post with a note of respect for Cloud’s family, “My heart is with his mother and family at this time and please be kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone.”
Zendaya and Cloud starred together in HBO’s dark high school series Euphoria, where Zendaya played Rue, a drug-addicted teen, and Cloud played Fezco, her drug dealer and friend. The show aired two seasons and won critical acclaim.
Cloud’s family confirmed to people on Monday that he had passed away earlier that day in his California home.
The actor was found unresponsive and pronounced dead by paramedics around 11:30 a.m. local time. The cause of death has not been revealed.
Cloud’s death came shortly after the death of his father.
