Adam Perkins, a social media star known for his videos on Vine, died on Sunday. He was 24 years old.

The social media influencer’s twin brother, Patrick, confirmed Adam’s death with a post on Instagram Tuesday. No cause of death was given. 

“My brother, Adam Perkins, passed away this previous Sunday, 4-11-21,” Patrick captioned a photo of them together. 

“I can’t even really put into words what this loss means for me,” he continued. “I’m often asked the question, ‘what’s it like to be a twin?’ and my response is usually, ‘What’s it like to NOT be a twin?’”

Patrick described, “I’m struggling to find the words to explain what it will be like for me to live in this world without him.”
