Drake leads tributes to Anton Yelchin, dead at 27

Drake has paid tribute to Anton Yelchin, who passed away on June 19 following a car accident at his home. 27 year-old Yelchin died after being crushed by his own car in a freak incident.

BBC News reports the car struck him after rolling backwards down the drive at his Studio City home, pinning him against a brick postbox pillar and a security fence.

Drake appeared in Charlie Bartlett, the 2007 film in which Yelchin played the lead role. He shared a picture of himself with the late actor on Instagram last night and wrote: “Rest in peace Anton.”
