China Anne McClain Calls 'Descendants' Co-Star Cameron Boyce Her Oldest Friend in Tearful Video

China Anne McClain is making us cry all over again following Cameron Boyce‘s tragic passing over the weekend.

The 20-year-old Black Lightning actress, who starred with Cameron in Descendants 2 and Descendants 3, opened up on her Instagram in series of emotional videos

Reflecting on their lifelong friendship, China stated that after hearing of his passing, she had to take a step back from social media.

“Seeing the headlines was just too hard,” she says. “I don’t really believe that this is actually happening and my mind is just shut down at this point and I’m feeling numb and empty, while going through the emotions.”

China continued, “To Mr. Vic, Mrs. Libby and Maya…I’m so sorry. You guys lost something that the rest of us didn’t lose. You guys lost a son, a brother, and I lost, my best friend…my closest friend, my longest friend. I will never again have a friend like Cameron.”

“This was actually his hat. He left it in my room when we were filming Descendants 2. We were hanging out with a couple of friends with one of them being another lifelong friend. We had gone to his room before going out to eat and we raided his closet. I had on his jacket and his sunglasses and his shoes…our other friend took this hat and when we were going to film Descendants 3, I packed it and was going to give it back to him. He didn’t believe that I remembered that. I had planned to give it back to him, but it didn’t happen.

“And I’m so happy I didn’t,” China shared before shedding more tears. “It feels like God left it for me, and He knew it was going to mean so much more than just being Cam’s hat.”
