The world is a bit empty without Kirstie,” he sincerely wrote.

Alley’s two children announced her passing via social media on Monday.

In a lengthy message shared to her Twitter, her family wrote: “To all our friends, far and wide around the world… We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered.”

Alley was surrounded by her closest family and “fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother.”

The actress had an incredible team of doctors and nurses at the Moffitt Cancer Center.

Us inspired to live life to the fullest just as she did,” the letter continued. “We thank you for your love and prayers and ask that you repsect our privacy at this difficult time.”

The note concluded, “With love always, True and Lillie Parker.”
