"Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television extend our heartfelt thoughts and support to Chance's family and all who loved him at this difficult time.

"We can't quite wrap our heads around this.

"For those of us who knew him and worked with him, Chance was always charming and smiling, an enthusiastic force of nature, an incredibly talented performer and more than anything else, just a very kind, lovely person.

"Even writing about him in the past tense doesn't make sense.

"We are so sorry for Chance's family, and we are grieving the loss of our friend and colleague.

"We ask to please respect the family's wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother."

Perdomo was recognised as a Bafta Breakthrough Brit in 2019, a year on from the first series of the Sabrina The Teenage Witch adaptation in which he played Ambrose Spellman.
