Alyson Hannigan is remembering her Buffy the Vampire Slayer co-star Anthony Head following his death at the age of 72.
The actress paid tribute to Anthony on Saturday (June 6), after his daughters announced that he had died from “complications due to pneumonia.”
“This cut is so deep I fear it can never heal,” the Willow actress wrote on Instagram alongside a sweet photo of their pair together. “Oh Tonal…I am so grateful to have had you in my life! I want to say a million wonderful things about you and yet I can’t seem to find the words that would do you justice. I love you so much and will miss you forever. RIP.”
Anthony was best known to Buffy fans for playing Rupert Giles, the trusted Watcher and mentor to Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s Buffy Summers.
Over the course of the series, Giles also developed a close bond with Alyson‘s character, Willow Rosenberg, often guiding the young witch through her growing magical abilities and some of her darkest struggles.
The tribute comes during an especially difficult year for the Buffy family. Earlier this year, Nicholas Brendon, who portrayed Xander Harris on the hit supernatural drama, died at the age of 54.
Sarah Michelle Gellar also shared a sweet tribute to Anthony.
