She praised her fellow actor as a “unique soul” and “Simply the most fiery, creative, loving, connected and caring force you could imagine….”
Shipka added that he was “as playful as he was friendly. As loving as it is hilarious.’
“He never failed to make me laugh and he never failed to keep me on my toes (or off when he gave me a piggyback ride to my trailer, which he did often. Thanks Chance ),’ she added as an aside.
“His humanity was a generous gift to me and to so many people,” she continued. “Really hard to imagine this world without him in it.”
Kiernan concludes by promising not to forget Chance.
‘I loved him with all my heart. I always will,” she wrote.
She opened her post with a photo of Chance at his happiest. The Gen V star had his eyes closed as he appeared to laugh heartily.

Kiernan stared into the camera and smiled as he looked completely at ease, while Chance pulled a seemingly annoyed look as he led his co-star to her caravan.
Kiernan starred in their series Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina as the title character, the half-witch, half-human teenager Sabrina Spellman.
The series, which originated as a spinoff of Riverdale before moving to Netflix, took a much darker and bloodier approach to the story than the 1990s and 2000s sitcom Sabrina The Teenage Witch, starring Melissa Joan Hart in the title role.
Chance played Ambrose Spellman, a cousin of Sabrina who often accompanied her on her adventures, which may have helped them develop a strong friendship behind the scenes.
Netflix canceled the series in 2020 after just two seasons, both of which were split into two additional parts.
After the end of Sabrina, Chance appeared in supporting roles in three of the five romance films in the After series.

Perdomo recently starred in season one of Gen V, a spin-off of The Boys that aired on Amazon Prime Video; seen in June 2023 in London
He will also be seen in the upcoming film Bad Man, which will be his final film appearance.
He also dabbled in new TV work, singing a character in the third season of the animated series Moominvalley and starring in the first season of Gen V, a spin-off of The Boys streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Patrick Schwarzenegger, who starred in the series’ first season, paid tribute to Chance this weekend.
‘This hurts. A lot of. What a young talented actor and a great friend, gone far too soon. It was a pleasure to work with him in GenV. RIP Kans ,” he wrote.
