The world lost beloved actor and comedian Bob Saget on Sunday.
The 65-year-old was found dead in his room at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando on Sunday afternoon.
A cause of death has not been revealed, but detectives found “no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.”
Saget was best known as single dad Danny Tanner on the popular 90s sitcom Full House, the host of America’s Funniest Home Videos and a hilarious stand up comedian who played a number of funny roles in movies and TV shows over the years.
Much like we saw with the news of Betty White’s passing on New Year’s Eve, news of Saget’s death sent a ripple effect through the entertainment world.
As the news was confirmed Sunday, tributes poured in for Saget as fellow comedians, his colleagues over the years and admirers took to social media to express their grief.
I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.

“I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock,” wrote John Stamos, Saget’s co-star on Full House. “I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby.”
Here are just a small handful of the tributes that have poured in since the news broke on Sunday:
I don’t know what to say 💔. I have no words. Bob was one of the best humans beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much.

I know that people lose loved ones, good people, every day. No one gets a pass. But the loss of Bob Saget hits deep. If you didn’t know him, he was kind and dear and cared about people deeply. He was the definition of “a good egg”. Too soon he leaves. #RipBobSaget

There wasn’t a kinder person in Hollywood than Bob Saget. I am having trouble wrapping my head around this. I do not want to believe this. It’s all too much to handle.

Bob Saget was funny and kind, but also, let’s not forgot, for people my age, he was the original Hot Dad. It’s not important but it’s true

Bob Saget was an amazing comedian and a really warm and generous man. It doesn’t seem real to me yet, I just saw him last week and it’s hard to even imagine him not being here. He was the best. pic.twitter.com/kaYuqgp7QN

Bob Saget was as lovely a human as he was funny. And to my mind, he was hilarious. We were close friends and I could not have loved him more. pic.twitter.com/TM8r1hzCfO
