"My dad loved with everything he had. He had so many reasons to be scared to love. So many loved ones kept dropping the body," continued Lara. "Instead of being scared, he loved more. I am beyond grateful to receive and to give that love."

Celebrities from all walks of the industry have spent the last few weeks issuing heartfelt tributes remembering the comedian, with Jimmy Kimmel holding back tears in a pre-taped monologue as he called his longtime friend "the sweetest," and A-listers like John Mayer, Tiffany Haddish, Steve Harvey, and more fondly reminiscing on their friendships with Bob.

The entire Full House cast — including series creator Jeff Franklin, stars John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Lori Loughlin, Andrea Barber and Scott Weinger as well as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — honored the backbone of their "family" with a gut-wrenching tribute of their own.

"Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family. And now we grieve as a family," the statement read. "Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob."

The group's statement continued, "He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls and a friend to all of us. Bob, we love you dearly. We ask in Bob's honor, hug the people you love. No one gave better hugs than Bob."
