Hollywood mourned many celebrities in 2024.
Christian Oliver, known for his role in the movie Speed Racer, passed away tragically at the age of 51 in a plane crash on January 5. The incident occurred as Oliver was returning from a vacation in the Caribbean with his two daughters, Madita and Annik, whom he had with his wife, Jessica Klepser, on January 4. The plane encountered engine issues and crashed into the ocean, resulting in the loss of Oliver, the pilot, and the aircraft.
In addition to being an actor, Oliver was also a realtor at Beverly Hills brokerage The Agency.
“Christian, Madita and Annik, you will be missed. May you rest in peace,” The Agency founder Mauricio Umansky wrote in a social media tribute. “My prayers are with you and your entire Agency family. You are a great friend, father, husband, actor and agent. You made us laugh, you care more than most. You are missed and loved.”
Four days later, news broke that The Cleaning Lady star Aden Canto had died at the age of 42.
“Adan had a depth of spirit that few truly knew. Those who glimpsed it were changed forever,” Canto’s rep said in a statement, revealing the actor privately battled appendiceal cancer. “He will be greatly missed by so many.”
Canto is survived by his wife, Stephanie Canto, and their two children: Roman and Eve.
