Kaylee Hottle, “Godzilla vs. Kong” actress, dies at 18 in tragic car accident

Hottle is best known for her role as Jia in 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong” and 2024’s “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.”

Kaylee Hottle, the deaf actress best known for her role as Jia in Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, has died. She was 18.

Her father, Joshua Hottle, confirmed the news to TMZ on Tuesday morning, revealing that Kaylee was killed following a car crash in Maryland. He later went on Facebook live to explain the circumstances of Kaylee's death using American Sign Language. "I am taking a flight that I never would like to take," Joshua wrote in the caption.

Hottle told TMZ that he learned Kaylee was involved in a serious car accident on Tuesday morning, and she died en route to a hospital. In his Facebook livestream, he shared that he was flying from Texas to Maryland in order to claim Kaylee's body.

Kaylee and her father are both deaf and come from a multi-generational deaf family; four generations of Joshua's family come from the Deaf community, according to The Houston Chronicle.

Rest in peace, Kaylee

So I’ve been watching the newest season of Foundation and can I just say how cool it is to have a major character (First Speaker Preem Palver) who is deaf (played by a deaf actor!) and communicates with other characters exclusively in subbed sign language?!? Getting to see sign language in action like that is so cool and I wish more things did that and had the guts to do it in a way that requires more work for the hearing people watching it!!! Also I really want to learn sign language but I’m not sure if my hands would be good at it… I should see if I can learn though, I know some words. Either way the totally different syntax of it is SO COOL and it’s awesome seeing it in action, like when he signs “you were never going to do this alone” as far as I can tell the actual signs made are something about going alone, a “nuh-uh-uh” somewhat sassy gesture, and then going with a group. IT IS JUST SO COOL AND MORE SHOWS SHOULD DO THIS (and should do it with deaf actors too, like that’s also a very important factor) (and the other actors having to learn sign for the scenes is awesome, I respect it a lot)

Meet the Cast of 'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' with Holly Hunter, Rober...

Have you seen it yet?

Starfleet Academy!

A Deaf male actor that uses American Sign Language and a hard of hearing female captain, Holly Hunter (The Piano) that became deaf in one ear as a child from the mumps.

Oh my gosh! More actors with hearing issues in major movies or series shows.

I'm so excited to watch this series on Paramount!

Hopefully it continues a long while.

Deafies, Hard of Hearies and Trekkies unite!

It's not impairment, it's differently abled!

Diffabilities can!

I fucking love Millicent Simmonds. She's so amazing. She's been in so many Deaf films and she's still so young. She's honestly my idol as a Deaf wannabe-actor. Please check her out if you're looking for a Deaf actor.
