Tamayo Perry: Pirates of the Caribbean star killed in shark attack

“Pirates of the Caribbean” actor Tamayo Perry has died after being attacked by a shark while surfing in Hawaii.

At around 1:00 p.m. local time, rescue workers were called to Malaekahana Beach.

But Perry, who was also a lifeguard, was pronounced dead by paramedics after being brought to shore on a jet ski.

Perry starred in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, the fourth film in the series.

The 2011 film, in which Johnny Depp plays the role of the eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, also stars Penelope Cruz and Geoffrey Rush.

Perry also had roles in “Lost,” “Hawaii Five-0,” “Blue Crush,” and “Charlie’s Angels 2.”

Kurt Lager, acting director of Honolulu Ocean Safety, said Perry was “a lifeguard loved by all,” adding that he was known on the North Shore of Oahu and around the world.

“Tamayo’s personality was infectious and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else even more.”

He added: “Our condolences go out to Tamayo’s family.”

Mayor Rick Blangiardi echoed Lager’s sentiments, calling Perry’s death a “tragic loss.”

At the press conference, he said: “Tamayo was a legendary and highly respected sailor. He grew up here and was just a great member of our ocean safety team.”

He said it was “hard to imagine” receiving such a call on a Sunday afternoon and demanded that Perry’s family be given privacy in their grief.
