Daveigh Chase, best known as the child star in the horror film The Ring and also the voice of Lilo in Lilo & Stitch, has died. She was 35.
The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, told TMZ that Chase died Tuesday after battling meningitis and an infection in her blood that led to septic issues.
Born in 1990, Chase rose to fame with several starring roles including 2003’s The Ring. Her role as Samara Morgan spooked audiences and led to a MTV Movie Award for best villain.
That same year, she also voiced Lilo in Disney’s animated Lilo & Stitch and nabbed an Annie Award for best voice acting in an animated feature production.
She also received nominations at the Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards for both roles.
