Celebrities and Canada’s prime minister have reacted to the death of actor Catherine O’Hara, who died in Los Angeles at 71

The death of Catherine O'Hara at 71 prompted an outpouring from the actor's co-stars and friends over the decades. O'Hara, whose legendary comic skills were on display in Home Alone, Schitt's Creek, Beetlejuice and much more, died Friday in Los Angeles after a brief illness.

“Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later” — Macaulay Culkin, the actor, who played O’Hara’s son in two Home Alone movies, on Instagram.

“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. I will cherish every funny memory I was fortunate enough to make with her.” — Schitt's Creek star and co-creator Dan Levy, on Instagram.

“Catherine O’Hara brought love and light to our world, through whipsmart compassion for the collection of eccentrics she portrayed...such a loss for her family and friends, and the audience she graced as friends.” — Meryl Streep, who co-starred with O'Hara in Heartburn, in a statement.
