Honolulu, Hawaii - The surfer, lifeguard, and actor Tamayo Perry was tragically attacked and killed by a shark off the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

Perry, who was 49 years old, died while surfing near Oahu's North Shore on Sunday, said Kurt Lager of the city of Honolulu's Ocean Safety Division.

Perry appeared in the 2002 surf movie Blue Crush with Kate Bosworth. He also had a small role in the fourth installment of Disney's beloved Pirates of the Caribbean film series, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

First responders brought him by jet ski to Mālaekahana Beach, where he was pronounced dead.

"As we grieve this unimaginable loss, we are reminded of the inherent risks faced by our lifeguards daily, and we extend our deepest gratitude for their service," Blangiardi added.

Honolulu Ocean Safety acting Chief Kurt Lager praised the late star in a statement as well.

"As much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more," Lager said, per CNN.
