Some tragic news this evening, as it has been confirmed that 27-year-old actor Anton Yelchin has passed away after a freak accident involving his own vehicle.

Yelchin, who starred in movies such as Green Room, Terminator: Salvation, and the Fright Night remake, was found in the driveway of his home this morning, pinned by his car.

An only child, Yelchin was born in Russia in 1989. His parents, both professional figure skaters, brought him to the US as a baby.

He was perhaps best known for playing Chekov in the rebooted Star Trek franchise.

Tributes have been pouring for the young star today.
