Many stars have reacted to the news of actor and comedian Bob Saget’s tragic passing on Sunday night. Nicknamed “America’s Dad,” Saget was best known for his character ‘Danny Tanner’ on the hit TV show “Full House.”

Candace Cameron Bure shared her thoughts on the devastating loss of her “Full House” co-star and dear friend Bob Saget through Twitter. The Christian actress conveyed her shock of the sudden passing by initially expressing that she had “no words.”

“I don’t know what to say. I have no words,” Bure stated in the tweet. “Bob was one of the best human beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much.”

Following her initial tweet, she posted another message on Instagram about the late comedian that read, “I love you sooooo much. I don’t want to say goodbye. Thirty-five years wasn’t long enough.”

Both social media posts displayed many nostalgic photos of Bure and Saget, particularly one of the father-daughter tv duo in a heartfelt embrace.

Bure played Sagot’s daughter, D.J. Tanner, on the widely popular sitcom “Full House” for eight seasons from 1987 to 1985. The cast grew very close since the show started and became like family in real life.

Bure’s “Full House” co-star John Stamos also had a few heartfelt words to share about the news of his friend’s death. A few moments before Bure’s tweets, Stamos also tweeted that he was in “utter shock” after hearing the heartbreaking reports.

“I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock,” Stamos shared. “I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.”

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who played Saget’s TV daughter Michelle Tanner on “Full House,” also shared their responses with the public Sunday. According to ABC News, the famous twins gave their condolences and spoke fondly of their TV Dad.

“Bob was the most loving, compassionate, and generous man,” the Olsen’s said. “We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has. We are thinking of his daughters, wife, and family and are sending our condolences.”

The unexpected reports of his passing were shared across news outlets on Sunday evening after his unconscious body was found at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, where he was staying for his stand-up comedy tour. The official cause of death is under investigation.

He was 65 years old. The fan-favorite actor is survived by his wife, Kelly, and three children.

Saget’s family shared their statement with CNN to verify the news and express their grief.

“He was everything to us, and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter,” they reflected in their statement. “Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world.”
