7th Heaven star Lorenzo Brino has died. He was 21 years old.
The child star was killed in a driving accident after losing control of his Toyota Camry and struck a pole, TMZ learned early this morning (March 15). The outlet reports Brino — who died in the wreck last Monday (March 9) in San Bernardino County around 3 a.m. — was the sole passenger in the vehicle.
The actor, born and raised in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, was best known as one of the quadruplets on the family-favorite television show, on which he starred as a kid from 1999 to 2007. Brino made his debut on the episode in which Annie Camden gives birth, which became one of the series’ most-watched episodes in its run.
Per the outlet, Brino’s loved ones have since paid tribute to honor his memory.
Of her nephew, Lorenzo’s aunt, Janet Brino, shared, “To my dear sweet nephew, your loss left a hole in my heart. God needed another Angel and he took you. Please watch over your mom and dad. Your sister Mimi, brothers, Antonio, Zachary and Nicholas ... You got a big job up there."
Friend Stephen Dulay paid tribute to his late friend with a touching, six-minute video on YouTube. “From September 21st-March 9th 2020 we were blessed to have Lorenzo Brino’s Beautiful soul in our lives. The amount of people he touched with his character and charm was unbelievable,” reads the description for the clip. “He was a loyal friend and an amazing brother. He would always get my back no matter what. Rest In Peace Brother 🙏🏼”
