The cast of Descendants 3 are still mourning the loss of Cameron Boyce and it was evident in their interview with Good Morning America.

Dove Cameron, Booboo Stewart, Sofia Carson and Kenny Ortega opened up about the light that Cameron, who passed away last month, brought to their own lives.

“If you could bottle up happiness, that was Cam,” Sofia shared. “He was pure happiness and pure joy, and I feel like none of us will ever be able to express exactly the kind of heart that Cameron was.”

Kenny adds of hearing of Cameron‘s passing: “This was as tough as it gets. I didn’t realize that I had as deep a place for pain to come from, that the shock and awe of this unfathomable idea of losing this beautiful soul, with such promise to this world, could possibly be real.”

Dove also spoke of keeping Cameron‘s memory and legacy alive through their fans.

“I think that as absolutely heartbreaking as this one is, it is a personal loss for so many young people who watch Disney,” Dove shared. “I truly think the best thing we can do for them is to remember Cameron exactly as he was in — in the most positive light — but not to avoid it.”

Descendants 3 premieres TOMORROW, August 2nd on Disney Channel.
