“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family,” their statement reads. “There is so much to say, but right now we\u2019re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”<\/p>\n
“In time we will say more, as and when we are able,” the statement continues. “For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty\u2019s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”<\/p>\n
