Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Paid Tribute To Bob Saget After Their Former "Full House" Costar's Sudden Death

    "We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side."

    Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen were among dozens of celebrities who paid tribute to Bob Saget following the actor and comedian's sudden death over the weekend.

    The Olsen twins, who began their careers on ABC's classic sitcom Full House, worked with Bob during the original series' run throughout the late '80s and early '90s.

    Mary-Kate and Ashley first rose to fame playing Michelle, the youngest member of Full House's Tanner family, as infants and, later, young children. Bob played their dad, Danny Tanner.

    Full House wrapped in 1995 and neither Mary-Kate nor Ashley returned for the show's 21st-century reboot, where Bob reprised his character alongside John Stamos, Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, and Lori Loughlin.
