Archie Lyndhurst's best friend Samuel Smalls has paid heartbreaking tribute to him after his tragic death at just 19 years old.

Samuel, who's an actor just like pal Archie, shared a photograph of the two of them beaming and penned an emotional note to his mate.

The news broke today that Archie, son of famed actor Nicholas Lyndhurst and mum Lucy, was found at his family's home in west London last week.

He died "after a short illness."

The circumstances of his death are said to be "non-suspicious".

Addressing Archie directly, Samuel wrote: "To my brother Archie. I still can't quite comprehend that you have passed.

"You still had so much life to live and I'd give anything for you to keep on living it. My heart aches all day and everyday thinking about you and I just wish I could talk to you just one more time so you could know how much I loved you.

"I vow to make you proud with every last breath. Love you from now until infinity. Rest in power bro."

He added: "I wish you could've all known Archie how we knew him. I've never met someone so full of life and had touched so many peoples hearts.

"Archie was there for me in my lowest lows but my highest highs were with him. Archie's my best friend and to say goodbye so soon is absolutely devastating, but his calling was obviously somewhere else and I hope he is brightening up wherever he is.

"To be honest, I still can't find the words that do him justice and show how much of a beautiful soul he was, but his mission was to make as many people happy as he could and trust me, he really really did.

"Archie loved his friends and family so so dearly and we hope he knows how much he truly was loved. We never know what tomorrow will bring so hug the ones you love extra tight as Archie always did."

Archie's mum Lucy was the first to comment, telling Samuel: He will love you and watch over you forever. XX love you dearly."

"Love you mamma Lyndhurst," Samuel came back.

Archie had already made a name for himself in the acting world.

His breakout role was in CBBC series So Awkward, before going on to land roles on Casualty and Bad Education.
