Mourning at Disney: Actress Carla Jeffery passes away at 33
The entertainment world is in mourning following the confirmation of the passing of American actress Carla Jeffery, known primarily for her role as the cheerleader Bree in the hit Disney Channel Zombies franchise. The news was announced by her talent agency, Alexanders Talent Management, who reported that her death occurred on September 1st at the age of 33. Although the causes of her death have not been revealed, the news has generated a wave of shock among her followers and colleagues.
A trajectory marked by talent and joy
Carla Jeffery was born on July 10, 1993, in Houston, Texas, and began her acting journey at an early age. Her big-screen debut came in 2006 with the comedy Phat Girlz. Throughout her career, she participated in far-reaching television productions, such as:
- iCarly

However, it was her portrayal of Bree, Addison’s best friend in the Zombies franchise, that brought her international recognition. Jeffery was part of all three films in the saga and recently lent her voice to the animated series Zombies: The Re-Animated Series in 2024. Her latest acting work was in the audio drama Asanté, released in early 2025.
As Bree in Disney’s hit Zombies franchise, Carla shared her joy, humor, and brilliant spirit with audiences around the world. Carla was more than a client; she was family. Rest beautiful, Carla. Your light will never be forgotten.
