"Bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man. 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," Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen said in a statement.

On Monday morning she shared an additional tribute to Instagram, writing, "I love you sooooo much. I don’t want to say goodbye 💔. 35 years wasn’t long enough," alongside a picture of her hugging Saget.

Norman Lear also took to Twitter to honor Saget, sharing a picture and writing, "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."
