2025 hasn’t pulled any punches, and July felt like a heavyweight roundhouse to the face of Hollywood. While most of the internet was arguing about AI scripts and whether the new Batman should smile, we quietly lost a few true legends. Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s death in his mid-50s shook longtime fans of The Cosby Show, while Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness himself, finally left the stage for good. But those weren’t the only goodbyes. Several actors who defined eras, shaped genres, and made us care about background characters in movies we only half-remember also passed away, with barely a whisper of recognition. Why? Here are a few celebrities who died in 2025 that fans didn’t talk about enough.

Richard Chamberlain
