On Monday, the Disney princess voice actress posted a touching tribute to the late “How I Met Your Mother” actor.

“Shocking news yesterday,” Wen began. “I’ve just been reading all the beautiful tributes to Bob Saget. So many repeated comments that Bob was the funniest, the kindest, the sweetest, the best friend. How many lives he’s impacted in such positive ways.”

“I remember coming out to Hollywood right after ‘The Joy Luck Club,’” she continued.

“I met Bob through mutual friends,” she shared. “I believe it was @jonnysilverman when we worked on ‘The Single Guy.’ It seemed like everyone knew Bob. The world knew him as TV’s lovable innocent dad, but I had the pleasure of seeing the wicked sense of humor he had!”

“It was always fun to hang around him and share laughs,” she added. “I only knew him in social circles and Hollywood events, but he always greeted me like a good friend. Even though I was a freshman and he was the big man on campus. I will never forget his generous heart.”

“He was certainly beloved and will be missed,” she concluded. “My heart goes out to his family, friends and fans for their sudden and painful loss. RIP, Bob. Another angel has earned his wings.”

“Yes, this was certainly unexpected, especially considering he wasn’t known for living a wild life,” another added. “He was a staple in my household as a kid with “Full House”, and in interviews, he was just as pleasant. I got to see some of his early stand up material years later, and yes, he did have a rather unique sense of humor.”

“ I never met him. Many of my friends have a spoke very highly of him,” another shared. “Definitely gone way too soon. BTW. Love you in Boba Fett.”

Wen was far from the only “Star Wars” actor to pay tribute to the late “Full House” star.
