The life of a child star is a tough one, and many of them continue to have a tough life when they turn to adults. Unfortunately, many child stars don’t even make it to becoming an adult due to everything from drug addiction, to suicide, tragic freak accidents like Star Trek’s Anton Yelchin. Many child stars suffer from depression, and turn to substance abuse to deal with the pressures of being a celebrity at such a young age.

They are all sad to me. When I see a promising, young actor being typecast and then not being able to crossover to something different later, I can only imagine how awful it is for them. It would be hard for anyone, to have the world at your feet one day and then just be desperate the next. No easy thing for the families that are left behind either.
Anton Yelchin's death was the most shocking for me. He was pinned by his own car. A freak accident. Others died by illness or suicide which is the most common.
Anton yelsin not dead
Honestly, I thought some ungrateful and bratty adults andor teenagers would say "YAY these children deserved to die because they ruin everything" despite them making a impact on our childhood! Glad that the generation of adults are improving and being grateful for kids.
What about Brittany Murphy?!
RIVER PHOENIX
I REMEMBER SEEING HIM IN A MOVIE CALLED
"MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO"
HEARING ABOUT HIS DEATH
UPSET ME BECAUSE HE WAS
SUCH A SWEETHEART AND
A TRUE GENUINELY NICE PERSON
IT WAS HEARTBREAKING TO ME!
rip anton yelchin… "like crazy" was an amazing movie
Green Room (2015) is an AMAZING film with Andre Yelchin, in by the way. Recommended to anyone who might not have seen it.
if going to use ones who died in their older years, what about Michael Jackson? River was sad, I concur
Dame all of them make me sad RIP
Judith Barsi for sure should have been #1
i still cant get over yelcin's death.
How ironic that Heather O'Rourke's segment features Erin Moran. RIP to them both.
bruh wtf i didnt even know charlie bartlett died
River, Corey and Jonathan decorated my walls in my teen years. It's so sad to be reminded that they are gone.
Showcase of weaklings.
i'm sad about heather o'rourke and my best friend is sad about johanathen brandis
Ohhh I wish River was still alive ❤️❤️
It's a crime that you didn't have Judith Barsi on here!!!
What about Natalie Wood?
i feel sorrow for the two who died of medical complications, but every other one was due to being drug addicts, the video fails to mention every suicide here was also a drug addict or drunk
LOL TRAGICALLY OR SUICIDES
I think it should be 10 Child Actors Who Tragically Died Young instead of having the 'top'
I thought Paul Walker was going to be on here
wth, child at the age of 23, sersly
