Never Have I Ever's Nicey Nash posted a sweet photo of herself and Ash together at an event, captioning it: "Rest Well Pretty girl. Your last text to me was 'I'm gonna make you my #wcw'. Then we had a good keke.
"You will be missed! Thank you for all the laughs! Sending my deepest condolences to your family & loved ones."
Meanwhile, Survivor's Remorse creator Mike O'Malley, who worked with Ash on all four seasons of the show, told Deadline that her "booming laugh" filled its set "every day".
"It was a loud and generous laugh. The kind of loud and genuine laugh that made you turn your head to see what you were missing," he continued. "The kind of laugh that signified life being lived to the fullest. Erica did."
O'Malley mentioned Ash's NAACP Image Awards nomination in 2017 for her role as M-Chuck on the show, saying "she deserved that accolade and many more".
He described Ash as "fearless, hilarious [and] compelling", adding: "But most of all – she was a good person. A team player. A woman you loved being around. To work with her was to know what the good life could look like."
