Pizarro's son Angelo caught the attention of Johnson on Twitter after he asked for a video message to honor his mother. Twitter users then began retweeting the message to get a hold of Johnson.

"My beautiful mom who passed away loved @TheRock so so SO much. I'm trying to get him to do even a video saying her name for the funeral. If you could retweet the crap outta this for him to see it that'd mean the world. Thank you!" he said.

Johnson then responded with a video on Sunday where he offered his condolences. "I'm so sorry to hear about your sister and your mom and this tragic loss that you're going through. If your mom could see me now, which I'm sure she can, I just want to thank her for all the love and for being such a big fan. Stay strong," the actor says in the clip that was posted by Angelo.
