"As you can imagine, this is [an] extremely difficult time for all of us. I ask for your kindness and your patience as we all just try to get through this next hour into these next weeks and months," Enright said, confirming that Honolulu Ocean Safety had responded to the attack via jet ski, before bringing the victim to shore.
Perry is known for working in movies like 2011's Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. He also had a role in 2002's Blue Crush, among other projects. During the conference, Honolulu Ocean Safety Acting Chief Kurt Lager said Perry was "a lifeguard loved by all."
"He's well known on the North Shore. He's a professional surfer known worldwide," Lager added."Tamayo's personality was infectious and as much as people loved him, he loved everyone else more," Lager continued, before asking for privacy for the family. "It's just a tragic loss," Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi said, adding, "Tamayo was a legendary waterman and highly respected," reported People.
