Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan and her ex-husband, journalist Christopher Noxon, say they are “shattered” by the death of their son, 20-year-old Charlie Noxon, from a New Year’s Eve skiing accident in Utah.

“Our hearts are shattered. Our dear boy Charlie Noxon died on New Year’s Eve on a ski slope in Park City,” the two said in a statement released Thursday to E! News. “The cliches about moments like this are true, it turns out. The one about life forever changing in a split second, about the fact that we are all bound up in a web of love and loss, about the primacy of community in times of unfathomable tragedy.”
