Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are paying tribute to their TV dad.
The twins, who as youngsters shared the role of Michelle Tanner on the hit sitcom "Full House," mourned the loss of Bob Saget, who died suddenly Sunday at the age of 65.
Saget played the family patriarch on the series, which ran for eight seasons beginning in 1987.
"Bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man. We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has," the twin sisters, now 35, said in a statement to People magazine. "We are thinking of his daughters, wife and family and are sending our condolences."
Saget went on to reprise his role in the Netflix sequel "Fuller House." The show ran from 2016 to 2020.
And while the Olsens have left acting and now helm a fashion empire, they remained close to Saget, whom they met when they started on "Full House" as infants.
"Ashley and Mary-Kate, I love so much," he said in 2021 during an appearance on Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum's podcast. "When I'm in New York or when they're here, when we can, we see each other."

Fans gathered outside the famous town home in San Francisco where "Full House" was filmed, leaving flowers and signs of affection for actor Bog Saget who died on Sunday.

Another fan told CNN that Saget was a "cultural icon" who raised a generation of Americans.
"He raised a generation throughout the country. I think he left a big impact on people as children, at the Tanner family, and then as adults as Bob Saget and his comedy career as well. I think he touched a lot of people and he was a cultural icon," a fan told CNN.
Saget's character in "Full House" was also significant at the time as he played a single dad with all the complexity and that character brought, CNN's Senior Media Correspondent Brian Stelter explained.
Speaking of his conversation with Saget, Gottfried said, "the minute anything seemed to become at all sincere or serious or heartfelt, immediately, we turn it to bad taste, and outrageousness."
He added:
"I remember in particular for a while, we started sending emails to each other, and then we both had an idea, let's put all these emails together, and make it into a book. Then his manager read the emails and said, 'no, the public is not seeing this.' And that was kind of like talking to Bob."
He found out about Saget's death via comedian Jeff Ross.
"He said, "sad news, Bob Saget has died.' I always enjoy a sick joke, and so I was waiting for the punch line. And then that didn't come. Now I feel like it's a day later, I'm still waiting for the punch line to happen, to say 'no, it was all a joke.' Because yeah, everybody liked Bob," Gottfried told CNN.
Comedian George Wallace, who was a longtime friend of Bob Saget, said he wished everyone had a friend like Bob Saget.
"The more I think about him, the more I would start to laugh," he told CNN. "A family guy he was, but the filthiest mouth on this planet. When he gets to heaven, they're going to have to change their agenda to let him in. I loved this guy. I wished everybody knew him."
"We both have been busy. We talked every three months. But he's the kind of friend you talk to on the phone and you go right back to the same conversation you were talking about three months ago. Just absolutely just the funniest man in the world," Wallace said about Saget.
"He's gone, but we will never ever forget Bob Saget," he added.
Wallace also remembered Saget's parents.
Saget "came from good people. I was at his home for dinner," Wallace said. "His daddy was crazy. His mom Dolly would always say 'you talk so filthy.' And his dad would say 'do it, do it, do it.' She would tell him to be clean, his dad would egg him on."
"I just talked to him on the phone two months ago. What a great guy. Just a lovely friend," Wallace added.
