Gordon Ramsay, Mandy Moore & Other Famous Folks React To The Loss Of Anthony Bourdain
Hollywood is reeling from the unexpected death of chef and TV personality Anthony Bourdain.
As the Inquisitr reported earlier today, the 61-year-old chef was found deceased in his hotel room in Paris, France. He was reportedly there filming his hit series Parts Unknown when his friend Eric Ripert made the tragic discovery. Bourdain’s show’s network, CNN, released a statement on Anthony’s untimely death, saying that his talents never ceased to amaze them and that they will miss him very much. Bourdain leaves behind one daughter, Ariane Bourdain.
Since the news of his death is making its rounds across the internet, celebrities and friends of Bourdain are speaking out about the tragedy on various social media networks. Many have simply said that they are absolutely “stunned” at the loss of such a brilliant and talented man under such unfortunate circumstances.
Fellow chef Gordon Ramsey took to his Twitter account to share his thoughts and sorrow on the recent loss of his colleague.
“Stunned and saddened by the loss of Anthony Bourdain. He brought the world into our homes and inspired so many people to explore cultures and cities through their food. Remember that help is a phone call away US:1-800-273-TALK UK: 116 123.”
“Oh my God @Bourdain has taken his life. People are in unmanageable pain. This is my wake up call today. We have to help those who cannot help themselves,” fellow New Yorker Bethenny Frankel wrote.
And the celebrity tributes keep pouring in by the second.
Anthony. One of my idols. Unapologetic, passionate and one of the best storytellers on the planet. Thank you for making food so exciting. And always standing up for everything right. Horrible. Why why why. Be at peace now ?
