Sunday June 19, Anton Yelchin passed away in a horrific car accident. The 27-year-old’s body was found between his car and the gate of his home in California. Yelchin was most famously known for his role as Chekov in "Star Trek" and will be in the new "Star Trek" film releasing July 22, 2016.

So, with the upcoming release of the film lets take a moment to remember Yelchin's life. Many actors and actresses acknowledged the death, such as Zoe Saldana who made a lengthy Instragram

post ending with, “Good bye Anton, it was an honor to have crossed paths with you.” The two actors co-starred in Star Trek together.

Other co-stars such as Zachary Quinto, John Cho and director of the first Star Trek Film, J.J. Abrams took to social media platforms

to express their feelings of Yelchin's unexpected death. Many fans of Yelchin were devastated by the news, and friends who commented on his death mentioned his kind nature.

The passing of Yelchin only added on to the list of celebrities who have passed too soon this year. Prince died at age 57 on April 12, as well as Christina Grimmie who was fatally shot on June 11 at the age of 22.

There have been many deaths that occurred so far this year, such as the Orlando mass shooting where 49 people died, Philandro Castile, Alton Sterling and the five cops that were fatally shot, which has caused a lot of turmoil throughout the nation.

In these times, celebrities take advantage of their success to voice their opinions on the hurt the nation is feeling. It is often hard to see celebrities die, especially those who we admire. Yelchin was highly admirable, so although he has passed he can still be seen in "Star Trek" this weekend.
