FORMER child star Benji Gregory died at the age of 46. Benji Gregory, the child star on the hit sitcom Alf, was found dead on June 13 in Arizona. Gregory's sister Rebecca reported he was found dead in his car outside a Chase Bank, TMZ reported.

The star first posted a picture of his adorable pug in March 2021, with a close-up picture of his face and the simple caption "Hans." The actor last posted a picture of a sidewalk with the caption, "Wish my dog, Hans, would grow out of this 'tagging' phase already."
