Many celebs are paying tribute to Aaron Carter.

Aaron, who struggled with substance abuse issues and his mental health over the years, was reportedly found unresponsive at his California home after a 911 call reporting a drowning in a bathtub. An official cause of death hasn’t been announced. Since the news of his death broke, many fans and loved ones have taken to social media to remember the I Want Candy artist – including former girlfriend Hilary Duff. She wrote on Instagram Saturday:
