Peyton List, who also appeared on Jessie with Cameron, wrote this touching letter, ending it with, "My kids will hear about you with every lesson and your legacy will live on. Too much talent and love to go so soon."
'Euphoria' and former Disney star Zendaya shared her love.
Zendaya starred in Shake It Up, another Disney show on which Cameron made a cameo.
Cameron's father Victor also posted shortly following the news of Cameron's passing.
His tweet read, "I'm overwhelmed with the love and support our family has received. It really doe help to ease the pain of this nightmare I can't wake up from. I can't thank you guys enough."
Since his passing, Skai has posted several other tributes to Cameron on her Instagram.
Most of them throwbacks photos from their time on set.
It's clear that sharing these memories with her fans, is Skai's way of dealing with the sudden loss of her good friend.
One of her most recent tributes was another throwback photo of her and Cameron
She was also supporting the Cameron Boyce Foundation, which "provides young people creative outlets to help change the world, honoring Cameron’s legacy by supporting the causes important to him," according to the website.
This time, fans were not as receptive to Skai's post, and many comments were from people who seemed fed up with her tributes.

Some felt that she was using her friend's death for "likes" and "attention".
Skai has been reading the negative comments, and has zero time for any of them.

She's been defending her actions, and rightfully so.
She also came for the girl who commented in a savage way.
She went onto the girl's page and commented "Close your mouth" on a picture where she had her mouth open.
This isn't the first time Skai made headlines for clapping back.

When she was just fourteen, she ended up in an Internet feud with rapper Azaelia Banks, after tweeting that the rapper should "simmer down a little" after starting a fight with musician Zayn Malik.
When Skai insisted that she would have a career, Azealia fought back again.

The meme she's referencing is, of course, this one that might be familiar to you if you were on Twitter in 2014.
Skai got the last word in, however.

People need to remember that Skai's generation was raised on the Internet, so if you come for her on her home terf, she's probably going to win.
Besides, losing a friend or family member is never easy, and everybody grieves differently.
