In another emotional tribute, Schitt’s Creek actor and co-creator Dan Levy's Instagram post read, "What a gift to have gotten to dance in the warm glow of Catherine O’Hara’s brilliance for all those years. Having spent over fifty years collaborating with my Dad, Catherine was extended family before she ever played my family. It’s hard to imagine a world without her in it.
