Tributes have poured in for Hollywood legend Rob Reiner, the director of When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, A Few Good Men, Stand By Me, Misery, and This Is Spinal Tap and its recent sequel.
As an actor, he was also one of the main cast members of '70s sitcom All in the Family, and had later roles in New Girl, Hollywood, and The Bear.
Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their Brentwood home in the early hours of Sunday morning, with the Los Angeles Police Department confirming that they were both stabbed to death. An investigation is currently ongoing (via ABC News).
Following the announcement of their deaths, actors, producers and fellow directors have taken to social media to mourn and share their memories.
"Horrified to hear of the passing of Rob Reiner and his wonderful wife Michelle," Elijah Wood, who starred in Reiner's 1994 film North, wrote. "So much love to their kids and family."

Virginia Madsen, who starred in Reiner's 1996 film Ghosts of Mississippi, wrote: "Damn this awful news out of Brentwood. God be with those who love them. Thank you Rob for giving us so much joy to hold on to. Life and talent always turned up to 11."
"Grieving the loss of my favorite director of all-time," Paul Walter Hauser posted. "A Few Good Men is THE reason I became an actor, and Rob's filmography behind the camera is THE reason I wanted to direct and still do."
Actor Josh Gad said: "He was one of the greatest directors of our time. He was a friend. He was simply a beautiful person. Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were two of the most kind and caring souls you could ever imagine.
"He cared so much for those who had no voices. This loss is devastating. I cannot express how much this hurts. Love you Rob and Michelle. Thank you for all you gave us."
"What a huge loss. Rob Reiner was one of my favorite directors... a kind caring person who was really really funny," wrote Ben Stiller, while John Cusack said: "Shocked by the death of Rob Reiner — a great man."

Even former US President Barack Obama shared a tribute, writing: "Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele.
"Rob's achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action.
"Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them."
