Here\u2019s a look at some notable reactions to Reiner\u2019s death:<\/p>\n
Barack Obama<\/h2>\n
\u201cRob\u2019s 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\u2014and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action.\u201d \u2014 On X. <\/p>\n
Jerry O’Connell<\/h2>\n
\u201cLove you, Rob.\u201d \u2014 On Instagram with a photo of him and Reiner on the set of \u201cStand By Me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Actor Josh Gad <\/h2>\n
\u201cHe 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.\u201d \u2014 On Instagram. <\/p>\n
Gavin Newsom<\/h2>\n
\u201cRob was the big-hearted genius behind so many of the classic stories we love, with projects as wide-ranging as The Princess Bride to A Few Good Men. His boundless empathy made his stories timeless, teaching generations how to see goodness and righteousness in others \u2014 and encouraging us to dream bigger. That empathy extended well beyond his films.\u201d \u2014 In a statement.<\/p>\n
James Woods <\/h2>\n
\u201cRob and I remained good friends ever since we made GHOSTS OF MISSISSIPPI. The studio didn\u2019t think I was old enough to do the part, but Rob fought for me. Political differences never stood in the way of our love and respect for each other. I am devastated by this terrible event.\u201d \u2014 On X. <\/p>\n Former Vice President AL Gore, right, listens as movie director Rob Reiner addresses a Tribeca Film Festival news conference on a series of global warming-themed short films produced by the SOS (Save Our Selves) campaign which opened the festival in a gala hosted by Gore, April 25, 2007, in New York.

Rob Reiner\u2019s contributions reverberate throughout American culture and society, and he has improved countless lives through his creative work and advocacy fighting for social and economic justice.\u201d \u2014In a statement. <\/p>\n \u201cGrieving the loss of my favorite director of all-time. A Few Good Men is THE reason I became an actor, and Rob\u2019s filmography behind the camera is THE reason I wanted to direct and still do.\u201d \u2014 On Instagram. <\/p>\n \u201cThe news of a deadly assault on Rob and Michelle Reiner in their home is devastating. It\u2019s hard to think of anyone more remarkable and excellent in every field and endeavor they pursued. Rob was creative, funny, and beloved. And in all of their endeavors, Michelle was his indispensable partner, intellectual resource, and a loving wife.\u201d \u2014 On X.<\/p>\n \u201cHorrified to hear of the passing of Rob Reiner and his wonderful wife Michelle. So much love to their kids and family.\u201d \u2014 On X. <\/p>\n Former Vice President AL Gore, right, listens as movie director Rob Reiner addresses a Tribeca Film Festival news conference on a series of global warming-themed short films produced by the SOS (Save Our Selves) campaign which opened the festival in a gala hosted by Gore, April 25, 2007, in New York.

Norman often referred to Rob as a son, and their close relationship was extraordinary, to us and the world. Norman would have wanted to remind us that Rob and Michele spent every breath trying to make this country a better place.\u201d \u2014 From a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t handle the truth that one of the greatest filmmakers to ever live is gone. We lost one of the few good men.\u201d \u2014 via X. <\/p>\n \u201cThank you Rob for giving us so much joy to hold on to.
