Cameron Boyce's mom reacts to Adam Sandler's emotional tribute
After fans spotted the nod—a quick background clip of Boyce from one of his Disney Channel shows—Cameron's mother, Libby Boyce, shared an emotional reaction on Instagram.
'Adam always finds a way to keep Cam's memory alive, which warms our heart,' Libby wrote on July 27. She also reflected on the close bond between Sandler and her son, recalling that the two were in regular contact before Cameron's unexpected death in 2019 due to a seizure at age 20.
'Cameron was supposed to be in Hubie Halloween, and they were strategizing,' she said. 'They had a bond rooted in authenticity, humor, and keeping it real.'
This is not the first time Sandler has honored Boyce. In Hubie Halloween (2020), the credits featured a tribute message: 'In loving memory of CAMERON BOYCE... You live on forever in our hearts.'
Libby Boyce continues to share memories of her son with fans, recently posting a photo of him dancing. 'He felt dance on a deep level,' she noted, recalling his joy.
Sandler's ongoing tributes are a testament to Cameron's lasting impact and the deep friendships he formed in Hollywood.

'Avatar: Fire and Ash' trailer reveals new tribe and conflict ahead of December 2025 cinema release
Disney has released the first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in James Cameron's Avatar franchise, scheduled for theatrical release on December 19 2025. The trailer introduces the Ash People, a new tribe on Pandora, known for their association with fire and their aggressive tactics. Director James Cameron previewed the film at the 2024 D23 Expo, describing it as a continuation of the expansive narrative that began in Avatar: The Way of Water. Cameron noted that the third film explores 'really challenging territory' for its central characters and brings emotional stakes that surpass the previous instalments. The trailer reveals that Jake Sully, played by Sam Worthington, and the Metkayina clan are now confronting the Ash People, led by a character named Varang, portrayed by Oona Chaplin. The footage shows Varang commanding fire and forming an alliance with Colonel Quaritch, reprised by Stephen Lang. Her closing line in the trailer, 'Your goddess has no dominion here,' sets the tone for the new conflict. Returning cast members include Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, and Britain Dalton. New additions to the cast feature Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis. According to Cameron, Fire and Ash was originally part of a combined storyline with The Way of Water, but the project expanded into two films during development. He also teased that the Ash People represent a more violent contrast to the previously introduced Na'vi clans.
