Following his shock death in June, Anton Yelchin's Star Trek co-star Zoe Saldana has paid tribute to him with a heart-warming video – featuring her adorable twin boys. The clip stars, Zoe, 38, her husband Marco Perego their 21-month-old babies, and the actress posted a sweet message alongside it.

The Dubsmash shows Zoe and Italian artist lip-syncing to the Beastie Boys' So What'cha Want and the Crossroads star revealed the video reminded her of times on yet with Anton, who was 27 when he died.

She wrote: "I'm only posting this dubsmash because Simon Pegg insisted. He reminded me how much the crew laughed when I sent this video. It was over a weekend while we were shooting Star Trek in Vancouver last summer. Every time I see all the videos we all did it makes me think of Anton. We hope you can get a laugh out of this."

Anton was killed on 27 June when his Jeep rolled down his driveway and trapped him between a post and his security fence. It was later revealed he suffered traumatic asphyxia, which killed him within a minute.

Anton died in June after a freak accident

At the time of Anton's death, a representative for Zoe said she was "beyond devastated", and she later wrote on Instagram: "Your sudden and unexpected departure has left us all broken hearted. I woke up today feeling absolute gratitude that I had you as a friend and colleague.

"Your life has been cut short, but I will always tell everyone about you. You were kind, present, old souled, curious, brilliant, funny, humble, honest and undeniably talented. Goodbye Anton, it was an honoured to have crossed paths with you."
