Bob Saget’s wife, Kelly Rizzo, released a statement following his death at age 65.
The actor and comedian, best known for playing Danny Tanner in “Full House” and “Fuller House,” died after being found in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
On Monday, Saget’s wife issued a statement to Fox News Digital: “My whole heart. Bob was my absolute everything,” she said. “I am so completely shattered and in disbelief. I am so deeply touched by the outpouring of love and tribute from our friends, family, his fans and his peers.”
“When the time is right and when this news is not as raw, I look forward to sharing more of Bob with the world. Sharing how much he meant to me, all of those around him, and how much all of his fans and friends meant to him as well,” the statement continued. “Thank you for respecting my privacy at this time.”
Rizzo’s words came hours after the family released a statement confirming that the “America’s Funniest Home Videos” host had indeed died in Florida and asked fans to remember him fondly in the wake of the sad, unexpected news.
