She and I formed a tight friendship while shooting K.C. Undercover, and we've stayed close, so this is truly special. Sam, Ashley, the entire cast and crew have all been great to work with and we're all very happy to be shooting it here in LA, especially after the travesty that thousands here just experienced. Our hearts go out to everyone affected, and here's to hoping more productions follow suit and come back to Los Angeles to shoot."
