Surfer and actor Tamayo Perry was killed in a shark attack off the coast of Oahu on Sunday. The 49-year-old was known for his roles in "Blue Crush," "Hawaii Five-0," and "Pirates of the Caribbean."

Perry was surfing at Makaha Beach when he was attacked by a shark. He was bitten multiple times and died at the scene.

Perry was a well-known figure in the surfing community. He was a lifeguard for Honolulu Ocean Safety and was also a sponsored surfer for several companies.

Perry's death is a reminder of the dangers of surfing in shark-infested waters. Sharks are apex predators that are responsible for a number of attacks on humans each year.

If you are planning to surf in shark-infested waters, it is important to take precautions to reduce your risk of being attacked. These precautions include:

• Surfing in groups
• Avoiding surfing at dawn and dusk
• Avoiding surfing in areas where there are known to be sharks
• Using a shark deterrent device

By following these precautions, you can help to reduce your risk of being attacked by a shark.
