he death of "Twilight" fan Gisela Gagliardi at San Diego Comic-Con Tuesday struck a cord with the stars of the hit film.

"It's a really horrible thing that happened, and it's just a tragic accident," actress Nikki Reed told MTV before the start of the convention.

The 53-year-old woman died after being struck by a car when she ran across a busy crosswalk against a light.

Although tragic, Reed said that Gagliardi's death brought "Twilight" fans at the convention closer together.
