Surfing legend Tamayo Perry has died following a shark attack in Oahu, Hawaii.

Perry, who appeared in the fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film, was attacked near Goat Island on Sunday. He was 49.

He was found off Mālaekahana Beach on Oahu’s North Shore by local surfers with an arm and a leg missing, Stab Magazine reported.

The horrific incident was reported by a bystander who spotted a man suffering from shark bites, Honolulu’s emergency services said.

Perry was taking a surfing break from lifeguard duties when the ordeal occurred just before 1 p.m. local time.

Emergency services brought Perry to shore on Malaekahana Beach, where paramedics tried to resuscitate him.

But Perry — an ocean safety lifeguard and surfing instructor — was pronounced dead just moments later, officials said.

Perry had appeared in a series of blockbuster films, including the 2002 film “Blue Crush,” “Lost,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and “Hawaii Five-0.”

He also appeared in the 2003 film “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.”
