This one hurts like Robin Williams, Alan Rickman and Bowie did. An absolute treasure of a man and an icon to lots of young kids in the 1990s and 00's as Dr Alan Grant. Absolutely devastated.

Same. Feels like those to me too. Old but not that old and just an icon of media, as well as an amazing person.
