One Tree Hill actor Paul Teal has died aged 35.
Paul was best-known for playing teen star Josh in season seven of the popular American show. His partner Emilia Torella confirmed his death on Instagram after a battle with cancer.
She wrote: “The most thoughtful, inspiring, driven, self-disciplined, loving man passed away on Friday, November 15, 2024.
“Paul, you were my soulmate, my soon-to-be-husband, my rock, and my future. You filled my lungs with laughter, my stomach with butterflies, and my heart with love. You were taken too soon, in a battle that you fought bravely without fail.”
“While a part of me died with you, I promise to fight to find joy in life as hard as you fought to live every single day,” Emilia added. “The world is lucky to have even had a moment with Paul Teal, and I am the luckiest person in it, because I got to call you mine. I will love you forever.”
His co-star, Bethany Joy Lenz, also published an emotional tribute, saying: “My heart is heavy. Paul Teal was the kind of guy who lit up a room without trying. His bright smile, infectious laugh and kind heart made you want to be near him.
“I worked closely with Paul for months…He was a joy to work with in any environment and so generous. We stayed in touch on and off. I wish it had been more. I wish I’d called all those times I meant to but got distracted. Life is short. I keep thinking that this week. Life is short.”
