'Ellen' Co-star Kalen Allen Mourns DJ tWitch: 'Darkness Found A Voice'

The world continues to mourn the beloved DJ Stephen "tWitch" Boss, and now his beloved friend and co-star, Kalen Allen, is speaking out.

News broke this morning that the renowned dancer passed away via suicide at the age of 40. He reportedly died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

Allen and tWitch both appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and had a good rapport on-screen, and it seems their bond transcended the shores of TV into a deep bond between brothers.

Allen took to social media to remember his beloved friend with a touching tribute. He shared several heartwarming photos of their time on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and even off-screen, proving that they always found joy in each other's company.

"To my beloved friend, confidant, and brother…God knows, my heart is at a standstill because I have never known a friend like you," the "OMKalen" star began his message.  "No words, dance, or show can adequately capture just how magnificent your existence was to this world and me."

Allen opened up about the sweet relationship he shared with the late DJ, writing, "In a world where it was easy to get lost in the shadows, I am grateful that we always saw each other. We were each other's number one fan and often the light in each other's darkest hours."

The 26-year-old referenced tWitch's suicide and opened up about the mental battles he battled privately. "I am very sorry that the darkness found a voice this time and became too loud," he added.

The "For Christmas Sake" actor remembered his last time with the "SYTYCD" alum which was the Friday before he passed. Allen recalled calling tWitch for their "usual check-in" after remembering a funny moment between them. Going into detail about the very close bond they shared, Allen wrote:

"On a more personal note, as a queer black man, I want to thank you for seeing me and providing me with a friendship that I didn't even know could exist. Oh, my friend, you have no idea how your existence alone was revolutionary."

Allen wrote that tWitch gave him the chance not only to be seen and heard but also to be felt, calling it a "true gift."

He also reminded fans of the late choreographer's legacy, adding, "I hope that as you look down from above, you know that you were never anyone's sidekick, and hell, you weren't even a real DJ, lol. But how you moved and captured the hearts of the world with your gentle and subtle kindness was the glue that made the puzzle complete."

Allen opened up about how tWitch took the time to encourage the audience to find their show after every show and then made a big vow to his late friend. "I'll climb every mountain, and I'll dance every single dance with your memory as fuel," he promised. Concluding the tear-jerking post, Allen wrote,

"To the man upstairs, please welcome the best dance partner, faux DJ, and host… Stephen "tWitch" Boss! Take care of him and take care of his family. You've gained an angel who needs no introduction. Just keep dancing."

The late television personality first gained fame for being the runner-up on “So You Think Can Dance," blowing minds with his impressive dance skills. In 2014, he joined “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” as a guest DJ, but his charisma and the bond he shared with host Ellen DeGeneres endeared him to the hearts of many, making him the permanent DJ.

Following the news of his devastating passing, his former boss, Ellen, released a moving statement on social media that read, "I’m heartbroken. tWitch was pure love and light. He was my family, and I loved him with all my heart. I will miss him. Please send your love and support to Allison and his beautiful children – Weslie, Maddox, and Zaia."

As reported, tWitch's widow Allison Holker was the first to learn of his death after she frantically ran into an LAPD station on Tuesday after finding out her husband left the home without his vehicle — something that he never did.

Shortly after, police responded to a call at an L.A. hotel, where they found the late dancer dead from a self-inflicted gunshot.

RIP.
