SAD NEWS: Tragedy strikes twice… A beloved The Bold and the Beautiful actor has just been confirmed d.e.a.d after a fatal plane crash — while en route to Florida to say a final goodbye to wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.

A Day of Double Heartbreak

The entertainment world is reeling from two devastating losses in less than 24 hours. Hours after fans were shattered by the news of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan’s sudden passing, tragedy has struck again — claiming the life of a beloved star from CBS’s long-running soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

The actor, whose name is being withheld until family notifications are complete, was reportedly traveling on a private plane bound for Tampa, Florida, to attend Hogan’s private memorial and pay his respects to the wrestling legend he considered a close friend.

What We Know About the Crash

According to an official statement from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the aircraft — identified as a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air — took off from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport at 2:46 PM ET en route to Tampa. Approximately 15 minutes into the flight, the plane vanished from radar before crashing in a wooded area near Brunswick, Georgia.

Local residents reported hearing a loud explosion followed by flames rising into the air. First responders arrived within minutes, but officials later confirmed the tragic news: there were no survivors among the four people onboard.

Early reports suggest mechanical failure as a possible cause, but a full investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is underway.

A Mission of Love That Ended in Tragedy

Friends of the actor say he had a deep personal bond with Hulk Hogan dating back more than two decades. One source close to the family revealed:
“He told everyone, ‘I can’t miss this. Hulk was like a brother to me.’ This was supposed to be his way of saying goodbye.”

Those words now echo with unbearable sadness.

Hollywood in Mourning

Cast members from The Bold and the Beautiful have taken to social media to express their grief:

• Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan) wrote:
  “I’m heartbroken. We lost someone truly special. Life is so fragile. Please keep his family in your prayers.”

• Don Diamont (Bill Spencer) added:
  “First Hulk, now this. Two giants gone in a single day. Hug your loved ones tonight.”

Fans are flooding Twitter and Instagram with tributes under hashtags like #RIPBoldStar, #FarewellLegend, and #PrayersForTheFamilies.

Two Icons, Two Worlds, One Day of Grief

This unimaginable day has left two industries — wrestling and daytime television — united in sorrow. Hulk Hogan’s passing had already cast a shadow over millions of childhoods. Now, this catastrophic loss compounds the heartbreak, reminding us all how quickly life can change.

As one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“I grew up watching Hulk in the ring and him on my TV every afternoon. Today feels like losing a piece of my soul twice.”

What Happens Next

Authorities confirm the NTSB will release preliminary findings within 48 hours, while CBS has announced plans for a special tribute episode honoring the late actor. Hogan’s family is reportedly revising memorial arrangements in light of this shocking second tragedy.
