While some may not have been surprised to hear about the tragedy surrounding Johnny Lewis' death, there are plenty who are still shocked by the horrific news.

Twilight star Nikki Reed was on The O.C. the same season as Lewis back in 2006.

"It's horrible and shocking news," Reed told me earlier tonight at the Express and Vogue event at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. "He was the nicest guy."

Reed said it was the last thing she had ever expected to hear about the late actor. "I never thought anything but great things about him," she said. "I have nothing to say except that he was a really nice guy. It's just crazy."

Actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum also knew Lewis.

"It's so sad," the 10 Years star said. "It's a sad example of what happens if you lose your way in this town."

We couldn't agree more.
