Rory Sykes, a former child star actor, has died in the California fires, according to multiple reports.

He was just 32.

Sykes, who is from Australia, was reportedly killed when the fire took out his family’s estate in Malibu on January 8, his mother, Shelley Sykes, said in a post to X.

“It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of my beautiful son (Rory Sykes) to the Malibu fires yesterday,” she wrote. “I’m totally heart broken. British born Australian living in America, a wonderful son, a gift born on mine & his grandmas birthday 29 July 92, Rory Callum Sykes was the founder with me of @happycharity a true humanitarian.”

She wrote that her son was born blind with cerebral palsy and had difficulty walking.

“He overcame so much with surgeries and therapies to regain his sight & to be able to learn to walk. Despite the pain, he still enthused about traveling the world with me from Africa to Antarctica.”

She said her son had his own cottage on their 17-acre estate in Malibu and that when cinders jumped to his roof she was not able to put them out with a hose because the water was switched off.

“Even the 50 brave firefighters had no water all day!” she added.

Shelley Sykes said that she could not lift her son to move him because she has a broken arm.

“He said, ‘Mom leave me,’ and no mom can leave their kid,” she told Australia’s 10 News First. “And I’ve got a broken arm, I couldn’t lift him. I couldn’t move him.”

Rory Sykes played in the British TV series “Kiddy Kapers” in 1998.

He also became a professional speaker, who worked with the Tony Robbins Foundation and the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
