Hollywood is mourning the loss of some of its finest stars.

Below, Page Six remembers the actors, singers and more celebs who died in 2025.

Jeff Baena

Jeff Baena, aged 47, was discovered deceased at a home in Los Angeles on January 3rd, according to the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office as reported by Page Six.

An assistant reportedly discovered the filmmaker’s body and called police. According to TMZ, Baena died by suicide, citing law enforcement sources, but an official cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

Baena had been married to actress Audrey Plaza since 2020. They had no children together.

Brenton Wood

Brenton Wood died on Jan. 3 at his home in Moreno Valley, Calif., surrounded by friends and family, the singer’s manager and assistant, Manny Gallegos, told TMZ. He was 83.

Wood, who was born Alfred Jesse Smith, found success with R&B and pop music, and released hits such as “Gimme Little Sign” and “Baby You Got It.”

He was best known, though, for the 1967 track “The Oogum Boogum Song.”

Wayne Osmond

Wayne Osmond died at age 73 on Jan. 1 after suffering a “massive stroke,” his brother Merrill Osmond announced on Facebook at the time.

The musician wrote in his post, “When I learned that my dear brother Wayne had a massive stroke my immediate response was to fall to my knees and pray for him to receive the assurance that his mission had been accomplished, and he was successful in this endeavor in many ways.”

A rep for Wayne added that the singer, who rose to fame with his siblings in the 1950s, passed away “peacefully” while surrounded by his wife, Kathlyn White Osmond, and their five children.
