Mary Kate And Ashley Olsen Lead Stars Attending Bob Saget's Funeral

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were just some of the celebrities who attended Bob Saget's LA funeral yesterday (Friday 14 January).

The ceremony came five days after the 65-year-old actor and comedian passed away from a suspected heart attack in a hotel room.

As well as the Olsen twins - who both starred alongside Saget in US sitcom Full House - other celebrities included Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock and Jimmy Kimmel.

Saget played single dad to three daughters, Danny Tanner, in Full House which also starred Candace Cameron Bure, Dave Coulier and John Stamos.

Following his death, Bure shared a list of things she wished to have done 'one more time' with the Saget.

Sharing a picture on Instagram, she wrote: “Oh, Bob. Why’d you have to leave us so soon? We are all family, but you were the glue. The sticky, messy, squishy, sweet, lovable glue.

“My childhood is wrapped up in you, my formative teenage years and the rest of adulthood. You taught me to feel deeply at such a young age.

“We’ve always been so deeply connected since the day we met when I was 10 years old. You weren’t just like a father, but one of my closest friends in life."

She went on to add: “This hurts like nothing I’ve ever felt before. I want one more hug. I want one more text that says, ‘oh, btw, it’s me Bob’ after a long rant.

“I want one more laugh. I want to roll my eyes at you one more time. I want you to tell me to watch something but then tell me maybe I shouldn’t because of my faith.

“You were always so protective of me, and cared about everything. And everybody. You were the best. You were… Bob. There will never be another like you.”

She added: “I’m not saying goodbye because you’ll never leave my heart. Even with this gigantic tear in it”.

In a joint statement, the cast of US sitcom Full House previously said they would 'grieve as a family' as part of an outpouring of tributes that followed the news of Saget’s death.

In the post, the cast wrote: "Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family.

“And now we grieve as a family.

“Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob.

“He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls and a friend to all of us. Bob, we love you dearly. We ask in Bob’s honor, hug the people you love.

“No one gave better hugs than Bob.”
