Days of Our Lives alum James Lastovic and his roommate are safe and sound after being reported missing in Kauai, Hawaii.

The actor and his roommate Nevin Dizdari were reported missing after they never returned to their resort, Hanalei Bay Resort, on Sunday. They were last heard from at 1:30 p.m. local time, when they texted their hostess Carrie Flanders for information about Kōkeʻe State Park and Shipwreck Beach, where they presumably intended to hike and cliff dive.

Flanders' husband confirmed to EW that Lastovic and Dizdari were located safely on Tuesday after getting lost and losing cell reception during a hike. A representative for Lastovic also confirmed the pair has been found. Furthermore, the Instagram account of Dizdari's sister posted a story reading, "UPDATE: my sister and James are okay, they got lost on their hike but made it back to their car and are on their way back to the resort now."

The developments come after Lastovic's mother, Lucienne, issued a plea on Instagram to help locate her son, noting that he and Dizdari failed to make their flight back to California on Monday. She also noted that the two left all of their belongings at the resort, which had been turned over to the police.

The Kauai Police Department didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment.

Lastovic is best known for his role as Joey Johnson on Days of Our Lives, whom he portrayed between 2015 and 2017 and again in 2020. He also starred as Christian Keene in Insatiable opposite Debby Ryan. Lastovic recently made an appearance in the 2021 film This Game's Called Murder.
