Carla Jeffery: ‘Beautiful, vibrant’ Disney star dies at 33

Jeffery’s twin brother Carlon, who is also an actor, reposted that statement as well as a clip of his sister on a beach and a screenshot of an undated text message.

“Hey Sis, call me back when you get this. I was just calling to see how your day went! I love you to the moon & back sis,” it read.

“I just want you to know how proud I am of you. Your resilience, your grace, your infectious smile that lights up a room. You are truly a light that shines bright. Don’t let anyone dim that light, even yourself.

“The light you carry is special and must be protected at all times. You are the best sister a brother could ask for. Pray we continue to grow closer to one another along this journey. I got your back in this life and the next.”

Her co-stars also paid tribute, with Chandler Kinney, who played Willa in Zombies, writing that the actress’s death “doesn’t feel real”.

“Carla. The sweetest, most sparkly gal. You made every day better and brighter with your infectious positivity,” Kinney wrote.

“I think part of why you brought such effervescence to Bree (aside from your immense talent) is because that’s really who you were in your heart; a bubbly, vivacious heart-of-gold cheerleader who loved nothing more than to uplift those around her.”

Milo Manheim, who played Zed, shared a series of photos with the caption: “Love you Carlaboo, the sweetest, kindest, most loving person.”
