Lydia Cornell is mourning the loss of Bob Saget.
The actor-comedian, known for his role as beloved single dad Danny Tanner on the sitcom “Full House” and as the host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” died while on a stand-up tour on Sunday. He was 65.
Deputies in Orange County, Florida, were called on Sunday about an “unresponsive man” in a hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando and found the TV star dead, according to a sheriff’s statement on Twitter. Detectives found “no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.”
The actress, who starred in the ‘80s sitcom “Too Close for Comfort,” made a guest appearance as Spanish teacher Linda Mosley in a 1989 episode of “Full House.” In the show, Cornell gets caught kissing Saget by his TV daughter D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure) and her best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber).

“I loved working with Bob on ‘Full House,’” Cornell told Fox News. “He was a mensch and a great kisser. He was also one of the most humble, kind and generous actors I’ve ever worked with. He made me laugh so hard we almost couldn’t get through the kissing scenes.”
“We had a lot of fun on the set and it was obvious all the kids adored him,” the 68-year-old shared. “I also loved him in real life. He was a great father and a very funny stand-up comedian. Very self-effacing.”
Previously, Cornell took to Twitter where she remembered her former co-star.
“I can’t believe Bob Sagett (sic) is gone,” she tweeted. “I loved working with him on Full House. He was a good guy. My heart goes out to his wife Kelly and his daughters Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer. Rest in peace Bob. Keep making them laugh.”
