“General Hospital” star Tyler Christopher’s death continues to be mourned by his loved ones — including ex-fianceé, Vanessa Marcil.

The actress paid tribute to the fellow soap actor after he died Tuesday at 50.

Marcil — who also appeared on “GH” over the years — shared multiple throwback photos of Christopher on her Instagram Stories.

“Ugh, another loss! Waaaay too young,” she captioned one snapshot.

“Rest in peace bubs,” she wrote on one photo of the two hugging.

Another pic said: “Rest in power.”

Marcil, 55, and Christopher dated in the late 1990s and were even briefly engaged.

The “Days of Our Lives” star went on to marry actress Eva Longoria in 2002 while Marcil was in a relationship with Brian Austin Green. He and Longoria split two years later.

Christopher died from cardiac arrest at his home in San Diego.

“It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Tyler Christopher,” Benard wrote. “Tyler passed away this morning following a cardiac event in his San Diego apartment.

“Tyler was a truly talented individual that lit up the screen in every scene he performed and relished bringing joy to his loyal fans through his acting. Tyler was a sweet soul and wonderful friend to all of those who knew him.”

He went on, “Tyler was an advocate for better mental health and substance use treatment who openly spoke about his struggles with bipolar depression and alcohol. We are beyond devastated by the loss of our dear friend and pray for his children and his father.”

“This news was incredibly shocking, and I am devastated by his loss. He was a very gifted actor, and more importantly, an amazing friend. My heart goes out to his friends and family who loved him so much,” he said.
