Cheers’ Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer and More Pay Tribute to

[]

A loss felt by many. Kirstie Alley’s former costars, including Tim Allen, Kristin Chenoweth and John Travolta are morning her death after news broke on Monday, December 5, that she’d died at age 71.

“We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered,” Alley’s daughters, William “True” Stevenson and Lillie Stevenson, announced in a statement. “She was surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead.”

The family concluded: “Our mother’s zest and passion for life, her children, grandchildren and her many animals, not to mention her eternal joy of creating, were unparalleled and leave us inspired to live life to the fullest just as she did.”

The Cheers alum’s famous friends and fellow Hollywood stars were quick to pay homage to her life’s work and her vivacious personality.

“A sweet soul pass[es] on in Kristie Alley,” Allen, 69, who was Alley’s costar in 1997’s For Richer or Poorer, tweeted on Monday. “Sad, sad news.”

Chenoweth, meanwhile, revealed via Instagram, “I can’t believe you’re gone.” The 54-year-old Oklahoma native, who briefly starred alongside the late actress on two episodes of Kirstie, also shared photos from the comedy, which ran from 2013 to 2014.

Travolta is another one of Alley’s closest confidants who made a cameo on the TVLand show, which was canceled after one season. The Grease star, 68, and the Kansas native, however, were best known for their work on 1989’s Look Who’s Talking and 1990’s Look Who’s Talking Too.

“Kirstie was one of the most special relationships I’ve ever had,” Travolta wrote via social media on Monday alongside a carousal of photos from their decades-long friendship.

Clancy Brown, who acted with the Veronica’s Closet alum on more than one occasion posted a throwback picture from their 1988 film, Shoot to Kill. “She was beautiful in so many ways,” Brown, 63, recalled via Instagram. “There was no one like her on earth.”

Alley is survived by her children, True, 30, and Lillie, 28, whom she shared with ex-husband Parker Stevenson. The exes, who split in 1997 after 14 years of marriage also shared three grandchildren.

Ted Danson

“I was on a plane today and did something I rarely do. I watched an old episode of Cheers,” Danson told Deadline. “It was the episode where Tom Berenger proposes to Kirstie, who keeps saying no, even though she desperately wants to say yes. Kirstie was truly brilliant in it. Her ability to play a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown was both moving and hysterically funny. She made me laugh 30 years ago when she shot that scene, and she made me laugh today just as hard. As I got off the plane, I heard that Kirstie had died. I am so sad and so grateful for all the times she made me laugh. I send my love to her children. As they well know, their mother had a heart of gold. I will miss her.”

“Kirstie was a unique and wonderful person and friend. Her joy of being was boundless,” Perlman told Deadline of her Cheers costar. “We became friends almost instantly when she joined the cast of Cheers. She loved kids and my kids loved her too. We had sleepovers at her house, with treasure hunts that she created. She had massive Halloween and Easter parties and invited the entire crew of the show and their families. She wanted everyone to feel included. She loved her children deeply. I’ve never met anyone remotely like her. I feel so thankful to have known her. I’m going to miss her very, very much.”

After a public falling out, the dancer reflected on his “wild rollercoaster” of a relationship with his two-time DWTS partner.

“My dearest Kirstie, We haven’t spoken lately and I’ll tell you everything when I finally see you, but for now I want to say that I love you very much and I wish you the most peaceful rest,” he wrote via Instagram. “You were one of the most unique people I have ever met and easily one of the brightest moments of my personal and professional life. Some of our relationship is heavily documented. Most of it is known to select few. All of it was like a wild rollercoaster. From Maude to DJ Lil Buttercup you were always all in for life.”

Chmerkovskiy concluded: “I remember how absolutely wild you were and I start to tear up. Something you’d absolutely hate. And now I can’t help but smile because I remembered exactly what you wanted me to say at your funeral. Don’t think I can do it here … I thought you’d be around forever. I wish we spoke often. Thank you for everything. I love you Kirstie Alley. RIP.”

The DWTS judge commented on Chmerkovskiy’s post: “I loved watching you two together. You guys had magic chemistry. No fear. Just two strong people who were even stronger together … I only knew her from where I sat … and a few quick interactions. I can’t imagine how you are feeling. Sending love and support. This is a beautiful post.”

She continued of her former costar: “Hilarious, talented beyond belief, and generous and loyal. When we acted, it was a wild wash of fun. Pretty much everything she did was a wild wash of fun.
