American film and television producer Kevin Turen has died. He was 44.

Late Sunday, Penske Media Corporation (PMC) reportedly confirmed the news about the death of the executive producer of HBO's television series "Euphoria" and "Idol." Other than the confirmation of Turen's death, no other details have been released yet.

Turen's close friend and PMC CEO Jay Penske described him as someone whose greatest passion was his family and friends.

"He was so proud of his children. He and his wife, Evelina, were resolved that their children grow up with great values and ensure they make a difference in the broader world. Our collective heart breaks for them, and we all feel such a profound sense of loss," Jay said of his friend in a statement.

"We will miss Kevin so much, and this town lost one of its brightest rising stars today," he added.

Turen is survived by his wife, Evelina, and their two sons, Jack and James.

The "Euphoria" producer died four months after American actor and "Euphoria" star Angus Cloud's death.

Cloud - who portrayed the role of drug dealer Fezco in "Euphoria" - reportedly died because of an accidental drug overdose. According to the coroner's office, the 25-year-old actor had ingested cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl and benzodiazepines.

Per the New York Times, Cloud "intensely struggled" after his father died and battled with mental health. "He did not intend to end his life," Lisa Cloud, his mother, stated in a Facebook post a month after her son's death.

"It's abundantly clear that he did not intend to check out of this world," his mother added. "His struggles were real. He gave and received so much love and support to and from his tribe."

The American teen drama series is written by Sam Levinson for HBO and based on Ron Leshem and Daphna Levin's Israeli mini-series of the same name.

The series follows the story of Rue Bennett (Zendaya), a queer teenager who gets addicted to drugs. The series will show how she struggles to get sober, adjust to her relationships after rehab and find her place in the world.

Though Rue's story is the central focus of the show, it also follows other high schoolers who seek hope to balance love, loss and addiction, among others.
