Nickelodeon fans were stunned to see former rising star Tylor Chase apparently living on the streets of California, according to claims online.
Viral videos claimed that the actor was homeless and living a raggedy life in Los Angeles.
“Noooooo this is soooo sad,” one fan commented online.
Tylor was best known for his role on Nickelodeon’s Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide
Tylor was best known for his role as Martin Qwerly on the hit series Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide.
The Nickelodeon sitcom ran from 2004 to 2007, following the quirky school adventures of lead character Ned Bigby.
Tylor shone in his role of Martin, the oddball chatterbox who was a memorable supporting character.
Earlier this month, fans claimed Tylor was spotted in Los Angeles living a life of homelessness.
A social media user named lethallalli shared posts of the man and offered to help raise funds for the 36-year-old actor.
“Update on Tylor Chase,” she wrote in one clip, capturing the actor apparently stating his name for the camera.

“I showed him the post I made for him and he said that’s awesome!!! He said he’ll appreciate any help so I’ll be posting a Gofundme for him shortly!!!” lethallalli wrote in the text.
He was “so excited” after she offered to give him a phone or other form of help with support from the online community, lethallalli wrote in the caption.
lethallalli set up a GoFundMe page to help raise funds for him, and many netizens rallied in support.
The page raised about $1,207.
However, videos online claimed that somebody who personally knew Tylor had gotten in touch with lethallalli after her viral videos.
A person seemingly close to Tylor claimed he didn’t need money but required medical help
lethallalli received a message that said Tylor needed medical help and not money, according to a TikTok post shared by didyoucatchthis.
The TikTok account claimed that it was Tylor’s mother who shared the messages with lethallalli.
“Yes, Tylor needs medical attention, not money. But he refuses it. I appreciate your effort. But money would not be a benefit to him,” read the message lethallalli apparently received from the texter.
“I have gotten him several phones, but he loses them within a day or two. He can’t manage money or his meds by himself,” the message added.
Netizens claimed Tylor spoke about bipolar disorder on his YouTube channel

As per the didyoucatchthis screenshot, lethallalli seemingly replied and said she understood the situation and would, hence, put a stop to the fundraising page.
“But there is money that I’d like to at least give you because I don’t know what else to do with it,” read the response. “The money is not for me and it’s not my blessing to receive.”
The texter then replied, saying they could meet up and arrange for the money to be put in a bank account for Tylor.
“But like I said, he’s not good at managing money and it could possibly hurt him,” they added before saying they appreciated the help.
The texter concluded by saying Tylor is a “good sweet kid” but needs medical help.
“He is a good sweet kid. But he does need medical help,” the texter said
“According to his YouTube channel, looks like he struggles with bipolar disorder … I truly wish the best for him, so depressing that this type of outcome isn’t uncommon for those in America who need help/support,” one netizen wrote online.
A YouTube channel belonging to a user named Tylor Chase contains cryptic content with video titles like “Bipolar Vlogs – the absence of color” and “so be it.”
One video includes a narration about being “scared” and “lost.”
While it is unclear whether the claims shared online are true, netizens still expressed sadness over the idea of a former child actor living a homeless life.
“I seriously want him to be ok man,” one commented online. “This breaks my heart.”
“Bro how did this happen to him?” one netizen asked online

“He was my first TV crush as a kid,” read a second comment, while a third said, “That’s the problem in investing your childhood into acting and not getting a degree or taking up a trade.”
Some netizens claimed Tylor had a YouTube channel and posted messages about bipolar disorder.
“This feels exploitative,” one said.
“I loved watching that show with my kid. This is heartbreaking,” one fan commented online
