Actor and comedian Rickey Smiley is mourning the death of his son Brandon Smiley. Smiley, who starred on "The Rickey Smiley Show" from 2012-2014, took to Instagram on Sunday to share he had some "bad news" to deliver to his followers. "I hate to announce this, but I just want to give it to you before you hear it in the streets," Smiley said. "My son Brandon Smiley has passed away this morning."

Smiley did not specify his son's cause of death nor give his age. As he was preparing to leave for the airport, Smiley asked people to pray for him and his family. "I just want all my cousins and different family members to pray, be strong, and I’m OK," Smiley said. "Pray for my son's mother and my son’s siblings, everybody that was raised with Brandon."

A lot of celebrity deaths happening recently. And it's mostly young people that are the sons/daughters of famous people.

I don't believe in the whole Vax conspiracy theory. I think these have all been people committing suicide or possibly overdosing. The mma f*ghter victoria lee I think k*lled herself even though they haven't announced anything yet

Love everyone said n*ggas die everyday stop worshipping these celebrities like they God fu*k a celebrity

Nobody is worshipping anything. Just noticing a pattern lately, a lot of thread recently been son of actor on show or singer on this commits dies (they all been really young to die from natural causes or heart issued and if it's a disease they usually say its cancer or whatever). But you're right people die everyday

May he rip
