Former Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide actor Tylor Chase is receiving heartfelt support from longtime friends after recently being seen living on the streets in California.
After a video surfaced showing Tylor struggling with homelessness, his former co-star Daniel Curtis Lee quickly reached out and arranged a reunion that brought a moment of comfort and connection during an otherwise painful chapter.
“He Trusted an Old Friend”
In an emotional Instagram update shared on December 23, Daniel revealed that he had spent time with Tylor, including sharing a meal and reconnecting with their childhood castmate Devon Werkheiser over FaceTime.
Daniel explained that efforts were underway with the help of former child star Shaun Weiss and others to get Tylor into proper medical care. Although those plans were complicated, Daniel remained by Tylor’s side.
“Today I went and had pizza with him,” Daniel said, adding that he also helped Tylor find a hotel room during the busy holiday season. “He wanted to stay local, and this was the only place that was available.”
Before parting ways, the two shared a long hug.
“Love you, dude,” Tylor said quietly. “Thank you. I’m really happy to see you.”
A Community Begins to Rally
Daniel later shared that the overwhelming public concern has lifted Tylor’s spirits and given him hope.
“He’s on my heart, often on my mind,” Daniel said in a December 22 post. “He’s genuinely encouraged by how many people care.”
Devon Werkheiser, who portrayed Ned Bigby on the series, echoed that sentiment in a recent statement.
“We all want a happy ending,” Devon said. “Tylor was a sensitive, kind, and gentle kid. It’s heartbreaking to see him this way. My hope is that someone with the right understanding and resources can step in and help him get the support he needs.”
As the entertainment community continues to rally around him, many are hopeful that this renewed attention and support will help Tylor Chase begin the difficult journey back toward stability and healing.
