Hollywood actor and photographer Brad Everett Young has died after a collision on the 134 Freeway. He died of injuries suffered in the collision after his car was struck by a vehicle going in the wrong direction down the high-speed road, his publicist confirmed. The actor died on the scene, while the other driver was hospitalised.

Young was a known face in Hollywood, working on projects behind the camera with Vanity Fair, Vogue, and The Hollywood Reporter. He snapped the likes of David Harbour, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Seth Green, to name a few.

In front of the camera, Young appeared in the likes of Grey's Anatomy, Boy Meets World and Charlie's Angels. He also founded Dream Loud Official, an initiative dedicated to restoring the education of music and arts in schools nationwide, encouraging creativity as an "essential part of education".

His publicist Paul Christensen told The Hollywood Reporter: "Brad's passion for both the arts and the people behind them was unmatched," adding that he had "lived his mission" by keeping the arts alive.

Tributes for the legend have flooded in, with Chris McKenna, who plays Jack on General Hospital, sharing a pile of his photos taken by Young on his Instagram, writing: "These were taken just a couple weeks ago by the late @bradley206 we won't see another like him."

A fellow General Hospital actor, Parry Shan, wrote: "Brad Everett Young was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met. But the one trait that made him truly stand out in this business, often filled with cynicism, was his indomitable positivity."

He also added that Brad refused to accept payment when taking photos of him and always wanted to help promote his, among others', careers.

Tributes also poured in from fans of the photographer, with one user writing on X: "A lovely man who was respectful to fans and the celebrities whose pictures he took. Such a tragedy, such a loss. I pray for comfort to his family and friends. RIP Brad Everett Young."

Another said: "Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Brad Everett Young, Brad passed away Sunday night following an automobile accident he was so nice! He will forever be remembered for his work as an event photographer for all the stars and his work as an actor and screenwriter."

Brad is survived by his brother, Chris.
