"So sorry Colton. Thinking about you today," Taylor Lautner wrote in the comment section. Tyler Blackburn added, "Sending you love Colton."

Fans of the actor know that family is very important to Colton.

In fact, the Teen Wolf star was open with fans about how he was feeling when his mom passed away in March 2018.

"Today I lost my best friend, the love of my life...my momma. Words can't express how incredible this woman was," he previously shared. "I have so many things to say but I'm in a state of shock. I will always love you momma."

To honor his late mother's birthday, Colton would later chose to document his family's decision to spread her ashes at a special location.
