Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin's parents still visit his grave nearly every day

'Star Trek' actor Anton Yelchin's parents have visited his grave in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery nearly every day since his tragic death in 2016: 'I’ve never encountered a vigil like theirs.'

In Variety's new profile of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery — the legendary resting place for many industry titans in Los Angeles — co-owner Tyler Cassity revealed that Yelchin's parents, Irina and Viktor, visit the actor's grave nearly every day, nine years after his tragic death at 27. The cemetery co-owner also revealed that the Star Trek actor's parents chose Hollywood forever as Yelchin's final resting place due to the life-size bronze statue made in his likeness they wanted erected in his honor. The talented young star of Huff, Alpha Dog, and Charlie Bartlett was killed in a freak accident which left him pinned between his Jeep Grand Cherokee and a stone column just outside his Los Angeles home in June 2016.
