News of Callahan's death was announced on social media by his ex-wife and former All My Children co-star Eva LaRue. The two shared a daughter, Kaya.

“May Flights of Angels Wing You to Your Rest my Dear Friend. Your bigger than life, gregarious personality will leave a hole in our hearts forever," LaRue wrote.

We are devastated-My great friend, co parent partner, and loving father to Kaya,” she wrote on Instagram. “Kaya and I are beyond broken hearted, so stunned, sorry that my thoughts are a mess.

"You gave the best most beautifully written tributes, and I am at a complete loss for words right now for you.”

Callahan starred on All My Children from 1992 to 2005. He also appeared on shows including Days of Our Lives and Falcon Crest.

The cause of his death was not revealed at the time of writing.
