Chris Pine paid tribute to Anton Yelchin at a 'Star Trek Beyond' screening.
Anton, 27, died when he was trapped by his own car in a freak accident
in Los Angeles last month and co-star Chris spoke about the loss at a
special screening in New York.
According to the New York Daily News, he said: "This has been a very
difficult tour, because we recently lost a good friend of ours who is in
the film, and it feels so weird to have to go out and sell this film
after the loss of someone very close. We'll miss him greatly."
Karl Urban called Anton a "family member" and added: "We're all really
still in shock. This is very fresh. And it's difficult to even think
about trying to articulate our thoughts, feelings and memories of him
like he's gone."
Earlier this month, Zachary Quinto told BANG Showbiz that losing Anton was one of the "hardest things" to happen to him.
He said: "We pay tribute to him in our own ways all of the time and
losing him is one of the hardest things that's happened to any of us. I
think this whole thing is so difficult in proximity to that tragedy and
it has to be about celebrating Anton and his incredible spirit and the
life he lived.
"He's gone way too soon but left behind people that are full of love for
him and his work. Watching him on screen makes us all feel heartened by
knowing that we got to spend some incredible time together."
