Several celebrities – including Kim Cattrall, Hilaria Baldwin and Matt Bomer – took to social media to mourn the loss of Treat Williams following his death at the age of 71 on Monday.
“I’m in shock! RIP Dear Treat. My condolences to Pam, Gilles, Ellie and the family. A wonderful actor and friend,” Cattrall tweeted alongside a photo of them acting together in the 1999 movie “36 Hours to Die.”
The “Sex and the City” alum was referring to William’s wife, Pam Van Sant, and their two children, Gill and Elinor.
“This is a tough one, and I don’t like doing this on social media, but I want to share what an absolute treasure Treat Williams was- both as an actor and a person,” Bomer – who played Williams’ son in “White Collar” – captioned a photo of his TV dad on Monday.
Bomer continued raving that Williams “was one of the few actors I’ve worked with who always checked in on me – even years after we worked together. Treat- you were an amazing actor and an even better person and I will miss you. I count myself so blessed to have known you. My heart goes out to your wife and children. Rest in Peace my friend.”
Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria Baldwin, took to her Instagram Story to share how “sick” and “broken” her family feels after the loss of her husband’s “Drunk Parents” co-star.
Meanwhile, actress Melissa Gilbert shared two emotional tributes to Williams – with the first expressing her shock and writing “this is not real. It can’t be.”
“None of us will forget his kindness and humanity. Especially me. Oh how you are loved and oh how you will be missed. All my love to Pam and the kids during this horrible, heartbreaking time. Dearest Treat my friend and childhood crush, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest,” she captioned her second post.
Williams’ “Everwood” and “Hair” co-stars also expressed their condolences.
