"I'm heartbroken, I can't believe this, my prayers go out to his family," another user wrote.

"Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends, and community above all else, and leading with love and the light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband, and father, and an inspiration to his fans," tWitch's wife Allison was quoted by People.

"Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you," she added.

He became well-known after appearing on MTV's 'The Wade Robson Project' and finishing second in 'Star Search'. He also appeared in the dance reality show "So You Think You Can Dance" in 2008.

According to the reports, he joined Ellen's talk programme as a guest DJ in 2014, gradually becoming a permanent component of the show and becoming a co-executive producer in 2020.
