Millions are mourning the death of Bob Saget who passed away Sunday, January 9th. The 65-year-old made an impact on the lives of many who watched him as the host of America’s Funniest Home Videos, or as Danny Tanner in Full House, but there is no one hurting more than his family and friends. The late actor married Kellly Rizzo in 2018 and the lifestyle expert told Page Six Monday, she is “completely shattered” and in “disbelief.”

The night before Saget was found dead he performed stand-up in Jacksonville Florida and he shared his excitement to perform again in front of his fans. “Really nice audience. Lots of positivity. Happened last night in Orlando last night at the Hard Rock Live too. Very appreciative and fun audiences,” he wrote.
Bob is also survived by his three daughters from his previous marriage to Sharri Kramer: Aubrey, 34, Lara, 32, and Jennifer, 29. The family told Page Six Sunday night, “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.”
The cause of death has not been determined at the time of this publication but the Orange County Sheriff‘s Office wrote on Twitter Sunday, “Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room.” “The man was identified as Robert Saget and pronounced deceased on the scene. Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case,” they added.
