Actress Annie Wersching died at age 45 on Sunday in Los Angeles, her publicist confirmed to Insider.
Her death comes three years after having been diagnosed with cancer, Deadline reported.
Wersching, who was originally from St. Louis, Missouri, kicked off her career as Liana in "Star Trek: Enterprise" in 2002. She starred as Renee Walker in the show "24" and acted as the voice for Tess in "The Last of Us," the videogame. Most recently, she played the Borg Queen in the show "Star Trek: Picard."
Wersching also starred in numerous other TV shows such as "General Hospital," "Bosch," "The Vampire Diaries," Marvel's "Runaways," and "The Rookie."
"We just lost a beautiful artist and human being. My heart is shattered. Thoughts are with her loved ones," Neil Druckmann, "The Last of Us" creator, tweeted Sunday.
Wersching is survived by her husband, actor Stephen Full, and their three children, Freddie, Ozzie, and Archie.
"There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn't require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. 'Go find it. It's everywhere.' And find it we shall," Full said in a statement to Deadline.
At the time of publishing, a GoFundMe for the family has raised nearly $100,000.
