Mariska Hargitay and the rest of the "Law & Order: SVU" cast and crew are mourning the loss of one of their own.

Josh Wallwork, who worked in the costume department on the long-running NBC cop drama series, died from complications due to coronavirus, according to a tweet shared by "SVU" showrunner Warren Leight.

Hargitay, 56, took to Twitter on Thursday to express her grief.

“Heartbroken we are. I don’t think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. He brought love and kindness everywhere he went. Always ready with the joke. The SVU Corredor will never be the same. We will miss you Josh. #ForeverInOurHearts," Hargitay wrote.

Wallwork was 45 years old.

Leight also wrote, "Very sad news today. One of our costumers, and a beautiful man, Josh Wallwork, passed away from complications of Covd-19. Cast and crew send love and prayers to his family and friends. We are heartbroken."
