"It is with great sadness and incredibly heavy hearts to write that Verne passed away today," a post on his official Facebook page read.
"Over the years he's struggled and won... but unfortunately this time was too much," it added.
Troyer is best known for his role as Mini-Me in Austin Powers and Griphook in the first Harry Potter film.
He has appeared on a number of reality TV shows, including Celebrity Big Brother in the UK in 2009.
The actor has also made regular appearances on Celebrity Juice and starred in Keith Lemon's feature length film, Keith Lemon: The Film.
Earlier this month, he was admitted to hospital in Los Angeles but his team did not say what he was suffering from.
Troyer was hospitalised for alcohol addiction last year and released a statement addressing his problems.
"I want to thank everyone that's reached out with their messages of support, it truly means the world to me," he wrote.
My fondest memory of Verne Troyer (and only memory of him in person) was being at a private party standing 5 feet in front of Lil 'Jon on the turntables with Verne Troyer dancing on the table and Mr Belding (Dennis Haskins) wearing a 619 beanie behind them gettin fuckin DOWN to Turn Down for What!
Fuck that sucks. I like his random goofy youtube videos every now and then
hope he gets to hump all the lazers he wants now
RIP
Nitecrawler - I remember him being on one of those VH1 shows for celebrity addiction or something (Vanilla Ice was there too). Dude was a fucking mess.
Is that where he was on the little scooter drunk as fuck and ended up pissing in a potted plant?
One of my favorite Romos :(

Yeah I think the show was called "The Surreal life ". Wasn't about addiction though.
