'Godzilla Vs. Kong' Stars Pay Heartbreaking Tribute To Costar Kaylee Hottle After Her Tragic Car Crash Death At 18

Celebrities have begun sharing touching tributes to Kaylee Hottle, who died at the age of 18 after a car crash.

Hottle starred as the beloved child Jia in the Godzilla franchise, particularly remembered for the moment in Godzilla vs. Kong when she offers a straw rendition of a gorilla to Kong as a symbol of peace.

Millie Bobby Brown, who co-starred in the franchise with Hottle, wrote a brief but touching tribute to her, sharing an image of that iconic moment from Godzilla vs. Kong.

Brown wrote:

"I'm so devastated to hear this."

"You will be deeply missed, Kaylee."

Some of the photos showed fun moments together, taking selfies, and resting between takes.

Hall wrote:

"Devastated to hear this news."

"My heart goes out to your family."

"You will be missed, Kaylee."

Hottle was nominated for Best Younger Performer in a Film at the Saturn Awards for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Though she wasn't cast in Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, which was one of Sam Neill's final projects, she was slotted to perform in the upcoming What Doesn't Kill Us.

Fans were devastated at the loss of Hottle, especially at such a young age.

Hottle also worked to advocate for the Deaf community over the years. Teri Devine, associate director of inclusion at UK charity Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), said Hottle helped "pave the way" for greater representation, and described her as a "passionate advocate for the Deaf community and Deaf actors in Hollywood."

Hottle will surely be remembered for her talent and kindness, as well as her advocacy work.
