WASHINGTON: Cameron Boyce, a young Disney Channel star, has died at age 20 in Los Angeles, Disney CEO Robert Iger confirmed Sunday.

Boyce died in his sleep Saturday from an ongoing medical condition, his family told celebrity news outlet TMZ.

He also had parts in the feature films "Mirrors," "Eagle Eye," "Grown Ups" and "Grown Ups 2."

"The Walt Disney Company mourns the loss of #CameronBoyce, who was a friend to so many of us, and filled with so much talent, heart and life, and far too young to die," Iger tweeted.
