Rob Reiner Figures from Hollywood and US politics have paid tribute and expressed shock after acclaimed director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead in their Los Angeles home.

Police launched a homicide investigation after saying a 78-year-old man and 68-year-old woman were pronounced dead at a house in an upmarket neighbourhood of LA on Sunday.

Reiner is known for directing classic films in a variety of genres, including When Harry Met Sally, This is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, Misery and A Few Good Men, as well as for championing liberal causes and Democratic politics.

Spinal Tap star Christopher Guest and his wife Jamie Lee Curtis said they were “numb”, while former President Barack Obama said he and wife Michelle were “heartbroken”.

Rob Reiner: Police said no-one had been arrested and that no suspect or person of interest was currently being sought, but did not give further details of the circumstances.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department told the BBC they received a call at about 15:38 local time (23:38 GMT) for medical aid to a home in Brentwood, a neighbourhood that is home to many celebrities.

Rob Reiner: Those paying tribute included author Stephen King, whose books provided the basis for both Misery and Stand By Me, and who said he was “horrified and saddened” by the news.

Rob Reiner: “Wonderful friend, political ally, and brilliant filmmaker (including 2 of mine),” he wrote. “Rest in peace, Rob. You always stood by me.”

Rob Reiner: Director Ron Howard said: “He proved to be a superlative filmmaker, a supportive colleague and at all times a dedicated citizen.

Rob Reiner: “Rob will be missed on so many levels. My heart goes out to his family and his many close friends.”

Sir Elton John, who made an appearance in this year’s Spinal Tap sequel, said: “I am in disbelief at today’s news of Rob and Michele.

“They were two of the most beautiful people I’d ever met and they deserved better.”
