Yelchin’s “Star Trek” castmate, John Cho, was among the first to take to social media:
I loved Anton Yelchin so much. He was a true artist – curious, beautiful, courageous. He was a great pal and a great son. I’m in ruins.

Yelchin died at the age of 27 after being pinned by his vehicle in the driveway of his San Fernando Valley home early Sunday morning.
