China added a note to her late castmate's family, writing: "To Mr. Vic, Mrs. Libby and Maya... I'm so sorry. You guys lost something that the rest of us didn't lose. You guys lost a son, a brother, and I lost, my best friend... my closest friend, my longest friend. I will never again have a friend like Cameron."
The actress wears Boyce's hat in the clip, revealing: "He left it in my room when we were filming 'Descendants 2'... We had gone to his room before going out to eat and we raided his closet. I had on his jacket and his sunglasses and his shoes... our other friend took this hat and when we were going to film 'Descendants 3', I packed it and was going to give it back to him. He didn't believe that I remembered that. I had planned to give it back to him, but it didn't happen.
"And I'm so happy I didn't. It feels like God left it for me, and He knew it was going to mean so much more than just being Cam's hat."
