Actress Abigail Breslin has paid an emotional tribute to her former My Sister\u2019s Keeper co-star Evan Ellingson after his tragic death, aged 35.<\/p>\n

The actor, who was known for his starring role in the 2009 film, which also featured Cameron Diaz, as well as a role on CSI: Miami, is reported to have died at a San Bernardino property on Sunday 5 November.<\/p>\n

Days after his passing, Abigail, 27, took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes snap of herself with Evan and Sofia Vassilieva, who played their leukemia-suffering sister on the film.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy caption, a heartbroken Abigail was full of praise for Evan, whilst she admitted that they 'didn't keep in touch a lot' after the film aired. <\/p>\n

She wrote: "Evan Ellingson was a kind, funny and extremely talented human being. He played my big brother in a film I did called My Sisters Keeper. Evan was a genuinely thoughtful person who cared so much about turning in the best performance, which he accomplished.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

"Some of his scenes in MSK still give me chills. He was also silly, funny, a prankster, a lover of Red Bull (I hated the smell of Red Bull) and he was energetic and the life of the party. I didn\u2019t keep in touch a lot with him after the film, but he always stayed in my mind as a wonderful and sweet soul, one I am grateful to have crossed paths with. My prayers and condolences are with his family at this difficult time."<\/p>\n

Abigail's emotional post continued: "Evan, I know Heaven will welcome you with open arms. Your time on this earth may have been, devastatingly, short. Your humor, exuberance, kindness and bright light will linger forever. Sending you peace on your journey to the great beyond and who knows\u2026 maybe one day, I\u2019ll meet you in Montana. Xx, abster."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The post ended: "Side note: the details of Evan\u2019s passing have not yet been released. I ask you to kindly not speculate on the details out of respect for his family including his daughter."<\/p>\n

News of Evan's untimely death broke on Sunday, 5 November, and according to TMZ, the star's body was discovered in his bedroom, where he was staying at a sober-living home.<\/p>\n
