Jane Fonda has been deeply affected by the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner.
The two-time Oscar winner revealed that she met with the longtime couple just one day before they were found dead at their Los Angeles home on December 14.
“I saw them night before last looking healthy and happy,” Jane wrote on Instagram on December 15. “I am reeling with grief. Stunned.”
Reflecting on the couple’s commitment to activism, the 87-year-old added, “Rob and Michele Reiner were wonderful, caring, smart, funny, generous people, always coming up with ideas for how to make the world better, kinder.”
The Reiners had attended a star-studded Christmas party hosted by Conan O’Brien on December 13, sources confirmed to multiple outlets.
The following day, police responded to the Reiners’ residence in the Brentwood neighborhood around 3:40 p.m., according to a press release from the Los Angeles Police Department. Upon arrival, officers “discovered two victims, who were subsequently identified as Robert and Michele Reiner.”
“As a result of the initial investigation, it was determined that the Reiners were the victims of homicide,” authorities stated in an LAPD press release. “The investigation further revealed that Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of Robert and Michele Reiner, was responsible for their deaths.”
