Ryan Reynolds has paid tribute to the woman killed on the set of Deadpool 2.

He released a statement on Twitter reading: “Today, we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming Deadpool.

"We’re heartbroken, shocked and devastated … but recognize nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment. My heart pours out to them — along with each and every person she touched in this world.”

It's been reported that the woman, who has now been identified as Joi "SJ" Harris, lost control of her motorbike and crashed through the glass of the Shaw Tower's ground floor studio.

Director of the film David Leitch also paid tribute, writing: “I’m deeply saddened by the loss of one of our stunt performers today. No words can expres how I and the rest of the ‘Deadpool 2’ crew feel about this tragedy.

“Our thoughts are with her family, friends and loved ones in this difficult time.”

20th Century Fox said in a statement: “We are deeply saddened by the accident that occurred on the set of ‘Deadpool 2’ this morning. Our hearts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues of our crew member during this difficult time.”

Our thoughts are with her family.
