Hilary Duff, Diane Warren, Tyler Hilton, Johnnie Guilbert and more celebrities are remembering Aaron Carter in light of his death, sharing tributes on social media.
The former “I Want Candy” singer died Saturday in his Lancaster, Calif. home. He was 34 years old.
Carter first gained recognition as a young pop star in the 90s. After releasing his self-titled debut album in 1997, he made his first solo appearance as the opening act for his brother Nick Carter’s band, the Backstreet Boys, in Berlin, Germany.
Signing with Jive Records, Carter’s star quickly skyrocketed with the release of his subsequent albums “Aaron’s Party,” which went triple platinum; “Oh Aaron,” which went platinum; and his double-platinum LP “Another Earthquake,” which was released in 2002. His most popular songs include “I Want Candy,” “Aaron’s Party,” “That’s How I Beat Shaq,” “Oh Aaron,” and “I’m All about You.”
Duff, who starred with Carter in the Disney Channel series “Lizzie McGuire,” posted a tribute to the singer on Instagram, writing, “For Aaron– I’m deeply sorry that life was so hard for you and that you had to struggle in front of the whole world. You had a charm that was absolutely effervescent…boy did my teenage self love you deeply. Sending love to your family at this time. Rest easy.”

“Fame at such a young age is often more a curse than a blessing and surviving it is not easy,” wrote Diane Warren.
