Gervais' partner, author Jane Fallon, also paid tribute to Ollie and said her 'heart is broken in two'.
Since the sad news was shared, 'RIP Ollie' has been trending on Twitter and Gervais has thanked all those who paid tribute to her.
He said: "A heartfelt thank you for all your lovely tributes to @myleftfang. I can't quite bring myself to respond at the moment, but your kindness is very much appreciated."
