The Young and the Restless<\/em> family is paying tribute to a very special cast member.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Los Angeles Police confirmed to E! News that Kristoff St. John<\/strong> was found dead<\/a> in his California home on Sunday afternoon. He was 52 years old.<\/p>\n

Authorities say they were called to a possible alcohol overdose but a cause of death is unconfirmed at this time.<\/p>\n

“The news of Kristoff St. John’s passing is heartbreaking. He was a very talented actor and an even better person,” CBS and Sony Pictures said in a statement to E! News. “For those of us who were fortunate enough to work with him on The Young and the Restless<\/em> for the last 27 years, he was a beloved friend whose smile and infectious laugh made every day on set a joy and made audiences love him.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Several co-stars echoed those sentiments when they took to social media to share their fond memories and condolences.<\/p>\n

“An infinite number of hearts are broken because of the passing of Kristoff St. John,” Eileen Davidson<\/strong> shared in a statement to People<\/a><\/em>. “Kristoff was a loving kind generous sweet hilarious gifted human. He left an indelible mark on all who were blessed to know him. I am so grateful to have been able to work with him and laugh with him. My deepest condolences go out to his family and especially his children, who I know he loves so much.”<\/p>\n

Stunned. About 15 years ago I wrote about being an extra on @YandR_CBS<\/a> . He was waiting on the set to greet me along with Victoria Rowell. Such a gracious man. My condolences to his family. https:\/\/t.co\/s4OZvpz9FD<\/a><\/p>\n
