*Saved By The Bell* star **Dustin Diamond** has passed away from cancer.

"Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful, the actor's spokesman, Roger Paul, said in a statement.

Dustin, who was best known for playing nerdy character Screech in the 90s sitcom, was rushed to hospital last month in Florida where it was later revealed he had stage 4 lung cancer.

Actress **Tiffany Thiessen** who plays Kelly Kapowski on the original show and the 2020 rebooted series, shared a photo of her late co-star smiling on her Instagram page.

"I am deeply saddened by the news of my old co-star @realdustindiamond passing," she captioned the photo.

"Life is extremely fragile and it's something we should never take for granted. God speed Dustin."

**Mark-Paul Gosselaar** aka the cool guy Zack Morris, posted a tribute on Twitter. He writes:

"Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dustin Diamond, a true comedic genius. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Looking back at our time working together, I will miss those raw, brilliant sparks that only he was able to produce. A pie in your face, my comrade."

Actor **Mario Lopez** who stars as A.C Slater in the hit series shared words of love for his co-star:

"Dustin, you will be missed my man. The fragility of this life is something never to be taken for granted. Prayers for your family will continue on."

**Elizabeth Berkley** who portrayed Jessie Spano also took to Insta to post a tribute for her colleague:

"I'm grateful to have gotten to create with Dustin when we were at the beginning of our dreams coming true. I will hold onto those sweet memories and the laughs we shared."

His management at Pink Daisy Entertainment shared on Instagram that "Dustin was a very funny guy always joking on the phone....it was a short time with him but will cherish it!"

**Dustin** was 44 years old.
