Also of "Full House" fame, actresses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, as well as Candace Cameron Bure, expressed their remorse.

"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.

Bure wrote on Twitter on Sunday, "I don’t know what to say 💔. I have no words. Bob was one of the best humans beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much."

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."

Saget is survived by his wife Kelly Rizzo and three daughters Aubrey Saget, Lara Melanie Saget, Jennifer Belle Saget from his first marriage to Sherri Kramer.
