Aaron Carter was one of the first friends I made in LA. He was so supportive through my transition & was always a genuine friend. He introduced me to my first acting coach & helped me in more ways than I think he realized. I'll miss you. I wish I could hug you 1 last time. RIP pic.twitter.com/cw1Z03KlwI

I apologize if I spoke out of turn mentioning Aaron Carter’s addiction leading to his death. It’s what I was told, but I don’t want to spread false information. I know he’s been working hard to overcome addition. Regardless, very sad news. I was always rooting for him.

To the guy in 15F. I will never forget the day I met you. And I will always cherish the fact that these words meant something to you. https://t.co/NAn1HGdbod
Aaron Carter was a talented young man who brought joy to a lot of people. He also struggled with addiction and mental health issues, and today he suffered a tragic death. His sister died of an overdose ten years ago. There are so many of us who suffer every day. I’m sorry, Aaron. pic.twitter.com/YglCr7pjd7

Rest in peace Aaron Carter. I am in tears right now hearing of your death. I just talked to you on Wednesday & you seemed in good spirits. You were such a sweet soul that never had a chance. I’m heartbroken that your son, who you wanted so much will never get to know you. 💔 pic.twitter.com/BaygQAhLox

Feel terrible about Aaron Carter passing away. He always seemed like such a tortured soul. He just had his son. Now a boy is without a father and this man passed on far to young. Just a terrible tragedy of a day. RIP Aaron.
