He and his wife, Michelle, have been found with stab wounds
0:05
and a family member is being questioned by police. The fire department are saying that they were found dead inside the property
0:18
And actually, we've got American commentator Perez Hilton on this one, Ellie
0:23
Good morning to you, Perez. Thank you very much for joining us this morning
0:27
What do we understand has happened here? Well, a couple of hours ago, the police in Los Angeles held a press conference
0:36
And as these things do, my expert prediction is that shortly after morning time in Los Angeles, we'll have another press conference where we are given more information
0:50
Right now, there are reports and chatters about who this family member may be
0:57
But the police have not confirmed any of that. They don't even acknowledge that anyone is in custody
1:03
Right now, we're only hearing that there's questioning happening. The family has released a statement saying that they are in deep sorrow, just heartbreak and asking for privacy
1:16
You know, just a horrific way to die and to have, according to reports, one of his children and his wife's child as well, discover the bodies
1:29
I just can't imagine how traumatic that must be for that young woman in her 30s, Romy
1:38
Rob Reiner was Hollywood royalty. His father, Carl, was also equally beloved and worked for his entire life basically as well
1:47
And I think the thing that especially sad about this is yes Rob Reiner lived a full life at 78 years old but his father lived to be 98 Rob Reiner could have still lived decades longer And to have things end like this it just seems very traumatic
2:08
Lost for the city, as you say, Rob was Hollywood royalty, but the two of them were such a talented couple
2:15
I was reading that Michelle, his wife, they met when Harry met Sally
2:20
But she also used to work as a photographer, And she actually took the photo of Donald Trump that appears on the cover of his book, Trump, the art of the deal
2:29
So clearly they were very creative and a much loved couple. And like her husband, too, Michelle Reiner was also very politically active
2:39
That is something that brought them together. And in the wake of their tragic murders, which is what it is being investigated as, we've heard from former presidents
2:52
Barack Obama spoke out. We've heard from the governor of California, the mayor of Los Angeles, the governor of Illinois
2:59
This is a story that has reached not just, you know, Hollywood, but truly beyond
3:06
And, you know, when I think of Rob Reiner, I think of what a talented man who made so many different kinds of movies brilliant
3:18
You know, he did comedies, he did dramas, he did suspense. He did every genre and he did it all well
3:26
I know that a family member is currently being questioned by the authorities
3:31
They haven't confirmed who that family member is, have they? It does seem as though the authorities are keeping the information quite limited at the moment
3:41
I mean, I don't know what you would like me to share. There is a very reputable publication in the United States, People magazine, who has named someone
3:50
But as of right now, the authorities have not named a suspect
