“Our family is devastated at the deepest level by the loss of Ian. He is such a bright light who cared so deeply about the happiness of others. Our family asks for respectful consideration during this private time. Thank you,“. Regina King said in a statement sent to PEOPLE.

Ian was King’s only child, whom she shared with her ex-husband, record producer Ian Alexander Sr. Following in his father’s musical footsteps, Ian was a deejay.

Despite her growing success as an actor and director, King said at the time that Ian was her biggest source of pride. After separating from Ian’s father in 2007 after nine years of marriage, King admitted being a single parent wasn’t always easy, but that nothing is stronger than her love for her son.

“You don’t know what unconditional love is. You may say you do, but if you don’t have a child, you don’t know what that is. When you experience it, it’s the most fulfilling thing ever”.

Ian has often also accompanied his mom on red carpets, including in 2019 when he called her “super mom” while at the Golden Globes.

Ian had released a new single, “Green Eyes,” on January 7 and had performances scheduled in Los Angeles later this month.

King, 51, won an Oscar in 2019 for the best-supporting actress, for her role in “If Beale Street Could Talk”.
