He was also known for his love of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. His family referenced this cherished book in their heartfelt tribute.

They wrote, "We will always love and deeply miss Jeff." The obituary remarked on his powerful impact, saying, "He made the world feel better through his presence and work." They mournfully concluded, "He had so much more to share with us. Sweet dreams, our Little Prince."

On the day of his passing, Baena was discovered at a Los Angeles residence. The local medical examiner ruled it a suicide, as noted in records reviewed by E! News. Following his death, Plaza, who has now deactivated her Instagram, released a joint statement alongside Baena’s parents and stepparents regarding their shared grief.

"This is an unimaginable tragedy," they stated in the January 6 message to E! News. "We are immensely grateful for all the support offered. Please respect our privacy during this time."

Earlier, SSP wrote that Meghan Markle delayed Netflix series amid wildfires in Los Angeles.
