Debby Ryan Shares Touching Clip of 'Jessie' Costar Cameron Boyce in the Wake of His Death

The actress posted a touching tribute to herJessiecostar on Instagram Sunday night, sharing a video of Boyce urging fans to use social media to “make the world a better place.”

“It’s crazy, we can tweet whenever we want and we can use social media and Instagram and make the world a better place,” Boyce says in the clip posted to Ryan’s Instagram Story. “Instead of a worse one, which so many people use it for.”

The clip is taken from Boyce’s acceptance speech at the 2018 Thirst Gala for the Pioneering Spirit award. Boyce was a longtime advocate for the non-profit organization Thirst Project, which raises awareness about the global water crisis.

“We need to use what we have and make the world a better place for other people, other people, people who need us,” Boyce concluded.
