'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor Tamayo Perry’s widow ‘devastated’ after his shark attack death

The widow of Hawaiian lifeguard and actor Tamayo Perry spoke out about her husband's death after he was attacked and killed by a shark. Tamayo Perry, 49, a City and County of Honolulu Ocean Safety lifeguard, died Sunday after being bitten by a shark near Goat Island. 'I feel so upset and devastated, but I also have a weird calmness in my heart knowing that he's in a better place,' Emilia Perry said in an interview with 'Good Morning America' that aired on Wednesday.

Lifeguards used jet skis to pull Perry to shore, where paramedics made the death pronouncement, Enright said. After the shark attack, Ocean Safety personnel posted shark warnings in the area. Perry began his career with the Ocean Safety department in July 2016. Honolulu Ocean Safety Acting Chief Kurt Lager described Perry as a lifeguard 'loved by all.' 'He's well known on the North Shore,' Lager said during a news conference.

Jesse King, a friend and coworker of Perry’s, told ABC that despite his friend’s fate, he would likely tell other surfers to continue surfing. 'For people that are surfers and avid ocean users, we do it because we love it,' King told the network. Fox News Digital’s Landon Mion and Stephen Sorace, along with The Associated Press contributed to this report.
