Up-and-coming South African actress and model Charlbi Dean has died. She was 32.

Sources close to the actress — who played Syonide in the CW’s “Black Lightning” — confirmed to The Post Tuesday that Dean died of an unexpected sudden illness. They did not share further details but said she died in a New York City hospital.

Dean recently landed the biggest role of her acting career opposite Woody Harrelson in “Triangle of Sadness.” The film hasn’t hit theaters yet, but it made a big impression at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival — taking home the festival’s top award, the Palme d’Or. According to Variety, the film will hit theaters on Oct. 8.

Dean’s other movie credits include “Blood in the Water,” “Don’t Sleep,” “An Interview with God” and “Porthole.” Her first film role was in 2010’s “Spud,” which also starred John Cleese and singer and actor Troye Sivan.
