Home and Away’s Johnny Ruffo dies at 35.

Home and Away’s Johnny Ruffo, a 35-year-old X Factor competitor, died suddenly.

Prior to appearing in the soap opera Home and Away, Ruffo gained notoriety on the reality show X Factor Australia.

After receiving a brain cancer diagnosis in 2017, he made donations to Australian projects that raised money and public awareness.

On his Instagram page, his family declared that he passed away on Friday, surrounded by the people he loved.

“He battled all the way to the end and fought as hard as he could,” it said.

“Such a beautiful soul with so much more to give.”
