“Deadpool 2” actress Zazie Beetz mourned the loss of the Bedford-Stuyvesant-born stuntwoman who was killed on the set of the sequel to the hit movie earlier this week.
“On Monday, we tragically lost one of our own – Joi SJ Harris,” Beetz said in a handwritten picture posted to Instagram Thursday.
“My heart has been breaking the past two days and I have been searching what to say or do.”
Harris was playing a double for Beetz’s character, Domino, and was filming a motorcycle stunt when she lost control and crashed through the windows of a building in Vancouver.
“I know that what I feel is nothing compared to what her loved ones, family & family, are feeling. My heart and my love goes out to her and them all,” Beetz continued. “The cast and crew send peace, healing, and their deepest condolences.”
The 40-year-old Long Island resident — who had a burgeoning career as the first-ever black female to compete in road racing — wasn’t wearing a helmet at the time.
It was Harris’ first movie as a stunt rider, and she’d just signed on last week.
Filming of “Deadpool 2” resumed Wednesday as it was revealed that Harris wasn’t wearing a helmet because there wasn’t enough time to get one specially made to fit under her wig.
