Paul Grant, who acted in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, died at the age of 56."I'm heartbroken... No girl deserves their dad to be taken away... He was so well known and loved [for his work]. He's gone too soon," Grant's daughter Sophie Jayne Grant told Sky News, reported Deadline, a US-based media company.

The actor was reportedly found unresponsive on Thursday, March 16 at a train station in London and was declared brain dead at the scene. Grant was taken off life support on Sunday, March 19. Grant played an Ewok in the George Lucas franchise and played a goblin in the Harry Potter franchise.

In a statement to The Sun, Sophie Jayne said, "I'm devastated. My dad was a legend in so many ways. He always brought a smile and laughter to everyone's face. He would do anything for anyone and was a massive Arsenal fan. He was an actor, father and grandad. He loved his daughters and son and his girlfriend Maria very much, as well as her kids who were like stepchildren to him. My dad I love you so much sleep tight."
