Bob Saget's wife Kelly Rizzo has broken her silence following her beloved husband's sudden death aged 65.
Over the weekend, the star of the sitcom Full House was found dead in his hotel room at Florida's Ritz-Carlton just two hours after his stand-up show, TMZ reports.
Per BBC News, the exact details surrounding his death remain unclear. But in a short statement posted to Twitter, the Sheriff's Department said that detectives had found no signs of foul play or drug use during initial inquiries.
Rizzo, who married Saget in October 2018, detailed her love for the late "Full House" star on Monday in an emotional statement to People.
"My whole heart. Bob was my absolute everything," wrote Rizzo. "I am so completely shattered and in disbelief. I am so deeply touched by the outpouring of love and tribute from our friends, family, his fans, and his peers.
"When the time is right and when this news is not as raw, I look forward to sharing more of Bob with the world. Sharing how much he meant to me, all of those around him, and how much all of his fans and friends meant to him as well. Thank you for respecting my privacy at this time," the blogger added.
Saget announced his and Rizzo's engagement in November 2017 on Instagram after two years of dating.
Rizzo's statement comes after Saget's daughters Aubrey, Lara, and Jennifer, whom he shared with his ex-wife, Sherri Kramer, issued their own statement saying they were "devastated" by their father's shocking death.
Saget's family has issued a statement confirming his death.
"We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today," they told Fox News. "He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter."
"Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world," the statement added.
Saget was touring the state and last performed on Saturday, January 8, in Jacksonville. He was set to be touring his stand-up show until May.
