Your sudden and unexpected departure has left us all broken hearted, she wrote.
I woke up today feeling absolute gratitude that I had you as a friend and colleague.
Your life has been cut short, but I will always tell everyone about you.

Good bye, Anton, it was an honor to have crossed paths with you.
Anton was our little brother.
His laugh was preposterous you couldnt hear it and not laugh yourself.
He was funny, edgy, wild and talented beyond measure.
His focus and dedication was admirable, as was his love of family, friends, literature and music.
Saldana portrayed Uhura in the Enterprise crew, which also included Yelchins Chekhov.
Saldana, too, tweeted at the time, Devastated by our friends loss.
We are mourning his passing and celebrating the beautiful spirit that he was.
