ST LOUIS, MISSOURI: Actress Annie Wersching, known for playing Renee Walker in '24' and 'Bosch', died on Sunday, January 29 after battling cancer for three years.

Several celebrities came forth to mourn the loss.

Her husband, Stephen Full writes, "There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn’t require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. ‘Go find it. It’s everywhere.’ And find it we shall. As I drove our boys, the true loves of her life, down the winding driveway and street, she would yell BYE! until we were out of earshot and into the world. I can still hear it ringing. Bye my Buddie. ‘I love you little family…'," as reported by Fox News. Wersching was also known for playing Karolina the superhero in Marvel's 'Runaways'. Despite her crumbling health and irreversible damage, she continued to shoot for roles in the popular series 'Star Trek: Picard' and 'The Rookie'. She was diagnosed with cancer in 2020.
