Sharing a black-and-white photo of the actor, Crosby wrote, “I am so devastated from his death but felt it was in poor taste to talk about it publicly as the attention should not be on me but rather on him and his legacy and he was an extremely private person and I always respected that in our friendship.

“But indeed, we were friends and I was one of the last people to speak to him and see him before he passed.”
