Lili Reinhart believes her late Riverdale co-star Luke Perry’s spirit visited him.
The 23-year-old actress shared a dream involving Perry who died on March 4, 2019, at the age of 52.
”I had a dream last night that I saw Luke… and I hugged him so hard and cried into his shoulder, telling him how much we all miss him,” she wrote. ”Looking back on it this morning, I think his spirit was visiting me in my sleep, letting me know he’s smiling brightly on the other side ✨.”
Last February, Perry never regained consciousness after suffering a stroke. Reinhart shared a touching message to her Instagram Stories hours after the news of Perry’s demise.
”When someone you love, gets taken from you. And the small circumferences surrounding you is stuck. Frozen in a moment. Of loss. And shock. Yet the people passing you are moving at full speed,” she wrote at the time. ”Did they not feel the earth shake? Or slow? Can they hear the thoughts screaming in my head? His name. His face. Memories. Flashes. Of a friend. A lost friend.”
She continued, ”We always expect the earth to stand still. For the universe to grieve the loved ones we have lost, along with us. But it keeps moving. Maybe as a sign that we should too. The movement of strangers, like a wave taking us with them.”
”So we ebb and flow with the passage of others, coasting off their energy and conserving our own.point 197 | Because it’s too hard to give anything right now.point 240 |

She also took to Twitter to show her grief as she wrote, “I’m finding it hard to grasp that he will no longer be around to give long hugs and share his wisdom and kindness with all of us.”
Reinhart paid tribute to Perry when the fourth season of Riverdale premiered.
”Tonight’s episode, and all episodes for the rest of our run, are for Luke,” she wrote on Instagram alongside photos of Perry and the rest of the cast.
”We love, honor, and cherish his memory every single day,” she continued. ”I only wish he were here to see how many lives he touched with happiness and laughter. I know he’s watching from above. We love you, Luke.”
