Kathy Bates said her 'heart breaks' for Rob and Michele Reiner.
Many celebrities were fond of Rob, and they issued statements regarding his untimely demise.
"I loved Rob. He was brilliant and kind, a man who made films of every genre to challenge himself as an artist," Kathy Bates shared. "He also fought courageously for his political beliefs. He changed the course of my life. Michelle was a gifted photographer. She shot my beautiful photos for the Misery campaign. My heart breaks for them both. My thoughts are with their family."
"What a huge loss,” Ben Stiller posted on X. "Rob Reiner was one of my favorite directors. He made some of the most formative movies for my generation. He came out [from] behind a huge comedic shadow of the great Carl Reiner, and being a TV actor to being a great director who made an incredible run of movies. Spinal Tap is one of the best comedies ever made – and the list goes on. He was a kind, caring person who was really, really funny."
Former President Barack Obama even addressed the situation, insisting he and wife Michelle were "heartbroken" to learn what had gone down.
"Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen," he elaborated. "But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people, and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them."
