The world is in mourning following the death of legendary Star Wars actress Carrie Fisher and her Force Awakens co-star John Boyega has paid tribute to her in a new statement.

“My heart is heavy but I’m grateful that I got to know her. I’ll cherish the memories, conversations and her consistent support. Rest well,” the 24-year-old actor posted on Instagram with a cute photo of him and Carrie on the red carpet.

John, who played Finn in the movie, also shared a photo of him on stage with Carrie at Star Wars Celebration and captioned it with a simple heart emoji.
