Wersching also starred in numerous other TV shows such as "General Hospital," "Bosch," "The Vampire Diaries," Marvel's "Runaways," and "The Rookie."

"We just lost a beautiful artist and human being. My heart is shattered. Thoughts are with her loved ones," Neil Druckmann, "The Last of Us" creator, tweeted Sunday.

Wersching is survived by her husband, actor Stephen Full, and their three children, Freddie, Ozzie, and Archie.

"There is a cavernous hole in the soul of this family today. But she left us the tools to fill it. She found wonder in the simplest moment. She didn't require music to dance. She taught us not to wait for adventure to find you. 'Go find it. It's everywhere.' And find it we shall," Full said in a statement to Deadline.

At the time of publishing, a GoFundMe for the family has raised nearly $100,000.
