Adult actor Seth Peterson has died at age 28.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my [fiancé] and best friend Seth. I’m truly at a loss for words, and my heart is broken,” read a message shared via Peterson’s X account on Saturday, March 21. “For those who would like to support during this incredibly difficult time, you can do so using the link below.”
The statement concluded, “Thank you for your kindness and support. Kobe.”
Alongside the message, Kobe posted a photo of Peterson (real name Adam Aguirre) smiling for the camera while seated for a meal. In the comments section, users mourned Peterson.
“I’m sending you so much love Kobe. Seth will be remembered forever,” one user wrote, while another added, “I’m so so sorry. Seth was so amazing and smart and just beautiful all around.”
A third wrote, “The news is sad, and shocking. I am sorry to hear of his death. I mourn along with his legion of fans. He was too young to be taken so soon. I hope his family and loved ones are comforted by knowing his life mattered and the amount of joy he brought to his fans. RIP.”
A GoFundMe account was also shared with the statement, with the fundraiser being created by Kobe. The fundraiser has raised more than $2,000 of its $9,000 goal at the time of publication.
“It is with a heavy heart that I share the passing of my fiancé and best friend, Seth Peterson. Seth was found in our home earlier today. He was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed,” a message read on the GoFundMe page. “These funds will go toward covering his funeral expenses, and any support during this difficult time is deeply appreciated.”
Content creator Rocky Heron shared his condolences after news broke of Peterson’s death, reposting a photo of the late actor.
“We didn’t know each other deeply, but we shared a birthday, which we often spent at Burning Man (with the same tattoos to prove it!), and bonded over our shared love of ball pythons,” Heron wrote via his Instagram Story on Sunday, March 22. “Every interaction I had with him was kind and genuine. I always felt a soft spot for him and saw him as a brother spirit walking a similar path.”
He continued, “I know life wasn’t always easy for him, and because I saw parts of my own journey reflected in his, I always tried to reach out when I saw him struggling. He was someone with a big heart, a lot of passion, and a depth that not everyone understood.”
Heron concluded his tribute by noting Peterson’s “departure from us comes far too soon,” adding, “My heart is with his [fiancé], his friends, and his family as they carry this loss. I hope he’s found peace. Rest easy brother.”
