Conan O'Brien shocked after friends Rob and Michele Reiner were murdered after leaving his party night before

Conan O'Brien breaks silence on Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner deaths, revealing his shock after the couple attended his holiday party before being found dead in their Brentwood home.

Lori Bashian is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. 

"I knew Rob and Michele, and then increasingly got closer and closer to them, and I was seeing them a lot," he said. "My wife and I were seeing them a lot, and they were so—they were just such lovely people. And to have that experience of saying good night to somebody and having them leave and then find out the next day that they’re gone."

He continued: "I think I was in shock for quite a while afterward. I mean, there’s no other word for it. It’s just very—it’s so awful. It’s just so awful. And I think about how Rob felt about things that are happening in the country, how involved he was, how much he put himself out there—and to have that voice go quiet in an instant is still hard for me to comprehend."
