When Leonard Nimoy died on Friday after living a long and prosperous life, the news of his death hit Hollywood hard. Friends, former co-stars and others who just found the 83-year-old actor to be an inspiration took to social media to express their grief over the loss of a beloved man.

George Takei, Nimoy's friend and former co-star, called into "Andrea Mitchell Reports" on MSNBC to say:
You know, the word extraordinary is often overused, but I think it's really appropriate for Leonard. He was an extraordinarily talented man, but he was also a very decent human being. His talent embraced directing, as well as acting and photography. He was a very sensitive man. And we feel his passing very much, he had been ill for a long, long time. And we miss him very much. He'd been there for a long, long time, and we miss him very much.
#LeonardNimoy illustr8d th blessing of Th High Priest on Star Trek-every1 who watched th show received his loving intentions thru his hands.
