“We are deeply saddened to learn today about the passing of Luke Perry,” said “Riverdale” executive producers in a statement. “A beloved member of the ‘Riverdale’, Warner Bros. and CW family, Luke was everything you would hope he would be: an incredibly caring, consummate professional with a giant heart, and a true friend to all. A father figure and mentor to the show’s young cast, Luke was incredibly generous, and he infused the set with love and kindness. Our thoughts are with Luke’s family during this most difficult time.”

“You were a joyful and vibrant soul,” the “Riverdale” writers said on Twitter. “You will be missed but most certainly your legacy will be remembered forever. Rest in love and peace, friend.”

Before landing the role of Fred Andrews, Perry starred as the handsome but troubled teen Dylan McKay the 1990s series “Beverly Hills, 90210”.

Production is indefinitely on hold on “Riverdale” following Perry’s death.

The series was finishing up shooting of the last few episodes of season three in Vancouver before the actor’s passing on Monday.

Writers are said to be figuring out the fate of Perry’s character and possibly tweaking the remainder of the scripts.

Several cast members, both past and present, sent their love to Perry after learning of his hospitalization. “Riverdale” co-star Lili Reinhart wrote a touching Instagram last week: “Thinking of you, Luke. And praying for your safe recovery.”

Stars have since paid tribute to the actor on social media after learning of his death.
