Since Pete Davidson is not on any of the social media platforms, he shared his statement via his SNL co-star Dave Sirus' Twitter handle. Paying tribute to Bob Saget, Pete wrote-

"Bob Saget was one of the nicest men on the planet. When I was younger and several times throughout our friendship he helped me get through some rough mental health stuff. He stayed on the phone with my mom for hours trying to help in any way he can - connecting us with doctors and new things we can try. He would check in on me and make sure I was okay. I love you Bob it was an honour to know you. Thank you for your kindness and friendship. My condolences to the family."

As per AP, Deputies in Orange County, Florida, were called Sunday about an 'unresponsive man' in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando and found Saget dead, according to a sheriff’s statement on Twitter.

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."

Bob was one of the best humans beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much."
