  • 05 Mar 2019

The cast and crew of Riverdale have posted moving tributes on social media honouring Luke Perry following his passing at the age of 52.

Luke portrayed Fred Andrews in the series, the father of main character Archie Andrews (played by KJ Apa).

Lili posted a simple black and white text image to her Instagram story, writing: "I can barely find the words. I am devastated. We all are."

She later tweeted, “I’m finding it hard to grasp that he will no longer be around to give long hugs and share his wisdom and kindness with all of us.”
