Annie Wersching has sadly passed away at the age of 45, following a battle with cancer.
The star's husband Stephen Full confirmed the tragic news of the 24 actress's death in a heartbreaking statement, writes The Mirror.
He penned: "There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn’t require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. ‘Go find it. It’s everywhere.’ And find it we shall.
"As I drove our boys, the true loves of her life, down the winding driveway and street, she would yell BYE! until we were out of earshot and into the world. I can still hear it ringing. Bye my Buddie. ‘I love you little family…’ “
The director and producer of 24, Jon Cassar, also paid tribute to his colleague.
"My heart is broken in more pieces than I can count," he said. "Annie came into my world with an open heart and a contagious smile. Brandishing such talent, she took my breath away.
"Annie became more than a workmate, she became a real friend to me, my family and every cast and crew member that worked with her.
"She’ll be truly missed by them and the fans she always found time to interact with. Annie you’ll be missed, you left your mark, and we’re all the better for it."
Annie was diagnosed with cancer in 2020 but continued doing what she loved and starred in films and TV shows.
The actress was known for playing Renee Walker in 24 and also appeared in Timeless, Runaways, The Vampire Diaries, Bosch, General Hospital and more.
Annie also guest-starred in Frasier, Angel, Supernatural, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods and Boston Legal.
