"Moses was a very talented person, with a bright light around him," she wrote.
"He will be missed deeply by his friends, family and fans. Always a ball of happy energy around him."

Co-star Addy Miller said she was "so heartbroken to hear about the passing of this bright, kind soul".
Another of Moseley’s co-stars, Melissa Cowan, wrote on social media that the late actor was "always nice, funny and [had] a smile to light any room".

Moseley also starred on Queen of the South, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Watchmen, the film Volumes of Blood: Horror Stories and the BET TV series Tales.
Talent agency Avery Sisters Entertainment wrote in a statement on Facebook: "Moses was a phenomenal actor who has appeared in movies such as The Walking Dead, Queen of the South, and American Soul, but MUCH more than that, he was an AMAZING person!
"For those who knew him, he was the kindest, sweetest, most generous person you would ever meet. We will miss you dearly!"
Moseley’s family told TMZ that they had reported him missing last Wednesday (26th January) and that police are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.
