At the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, Sarah Michelle Gellar and her co-star David Boreanaz honored the late cast members of *Buffy the Vampire Slayer* — Michelle Trachtenberg, Nicholas Brendon, and Anthony Head. Gellar noted it had been a "tough two years" since the deaths of their colleagues, highlighting the emotional impact on the show's community. Trachtenberg, who played Dawn, passed away in February 2025 at age 39 due to diabetes complications; Brendon, known for his role as Xander, died in March 2026 at age 54 from natural causes; and Head, the character Rupert Giles, succumbed to pneumonia complications in June 2026 at age 72. Gellar had previously paid tribute to them on social media following their deaths.
