“Just saw Ralph Ahn, the guy that played Tran on New Girl, passed away,” author and journalist Jason Diamond tweeted.
“The actor who played one of my favourite recurring New Girl characters passed away,” one fan wrote.
The actor, who played the fan-favourite role of Tran opposite Jake Johnson’s Nick on the popular American sitcom, died on 26 February, the Korean American Federation of Los Angeles (Kafla) said.
