Actor Harry Hains, best known for his roles in “American Horror Story” and “The OA,” has died. He was 27.

His mother, actress Jane Badler, broke the news in an Instagram post Friday.

“On Jan. 7 my beautiful son died. He was 27 and had the world at his feet. But sadly he struggled with mental illness and addiction,” she wrote. ”A brilliant spark shone bright too short a time ... I will miss you Harry every day of my life ... “

She also included information about his memorial service, which will be held at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles on Sunday. She included details for how to RSVP.
