Raven-Symoné is mourning the loss of her Cosby Show costar. 

The That’s So Raven alum shared an emotional message following the tragic death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who passed away after an accidental drowning on July 20 at age 54. 

In a post shared to Instagram July 22, Raven shared a black screen with three words written in white over top: “I love you.” 

And to accompany the poignant note, the 39-year-old—who played Olivia Kendall on The Cosby Show opposite Malcolm’s Theodore Huxtable—detailed her grief in an audio message.

“Words cannot describe the pain and sadness and surprise that I feel with the recent loss of MJW,” Raven said in the clip. “He was a big brother, he was a beacon, he was one of the most multifaceted, talented men. So gentle.”

And the former View cohost also offered her condolences to Malcolm’s family, saying that her “heart and soul, and hugs and kisses” go out to them.

“He gave the best advice, he gave the best hugs,” Raven continued. “And his smile will always be a huge bright f–king white smile in my head forever. I love you and I know you’re watching over all of us now.”
