Actor and comedian Alex Duong has passed away after a year-long battle with cancer.
Duong’s friend Hilary Steele shared the sad news on Saturday on a GoFundMe she set up for his family, including his wife Christina and 5-year-old daughter Everest.
“He is comfortable and thankfully no longer in pain,” Steele wrote.
“He took great care in saying goodbye to his little girl. From the day she was born, he cherished every moment of her,” she continued.
“We are devastated and so grateful for the support, prayers and generosity everyone has shown us during this unimaginable time.”
On Friday, Steele wrote that Duong’s health had deteriorated.
“He was in septic shock and a severe, life-threatening infection had attacked his body,” she wrote. “He is in the hospital and the situation is critical. Everything has changed quickly.”
At the time, she asked for donations to cover emergency medical and hospital expenses, rent, food and basic living expenses.
Steele said Sunday that her family is “overflowing with gratitude” for the outpouring of support.
“Please keep Alex and his family in your prayers,” she wrote. “Your support is getting them through the most difficult time of their lives.”
In 2025, Duong, best known for his role on “Blue Bloods,” was diagnosed with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer that affects soft tissues.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, the condition typically affects older children, teens, and young adults between the ages of 20 and 35, and the cancer is aggressive and spreads quickly after onset.
Duong’s credits include appearances on “Dexter,” “Everybody Hates Chris,” “90210,” “The Young and the Restless” and “Pretty Little Liars.”
