Carla Jeffery, the actress best known for playing Bree in Disney's "Zombies" franchise, died on September 1 at age 33. Her management company, Alexanders Talent Management, confirmed her death in a statement posted to her Instagram, calling her "more than a client" and "family." A cause of death has not been disclosed, and her representatives have asked that the family's privacy be respected.
Jeffery joined the Zombies franchise in 2018, playing the bubbly cheerleader and loyal best friend to lead character Addison across four films, most recently "Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires" in 2025, and voiced the role again in the 2024 animated spinoff series. Over that run, she became a recognizable presence at Disney Channel premieres, where her red carpet choices tended to mirror her character's warmth: bright colors, playful silhouettes and an ease in front of the camera that came through in every photo.
