Director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer, were found dead in their Los Angeles home on Sunday, according to a statement from their family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior law enforcement sources told ABC News the victims were stabbed to death in their Brentwood-area residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time,” the Reiner family said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officials said during a press conference Sunday night that they have not identified a suspect and nobody is currently in custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is a devastating loss for our city and our country,” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement. “Rob Reiner\u2019s contributions reverberate throughout American culture and society, and he has improved countless lives through his creative work and advocacy fighting for social and economic justice.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reiner — a famed director, producer and actor — is known for massive Hollywood hits, including “The Princess Bride,” “When Harry Met Sally…,” “Stand By Me,” “This is Spinal Tap,” “A Few Good Men” and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officers were called to the home at 3:40 p.m. PT, the LAPD said in a statement, calling the investigation an apparent homicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A man and woman were found deceased inside the home, the Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed to ABC News earlier on Sunday. Their ages were reported as 78 and 68 years old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The senior leadership of the LAPD’s robbery and homicide unit responded to the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A neighbor told ABC News that actors Billy Crystal and Larry David were seen at the house after police had arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBilly looked like he was about to cry,\u201d the neighbor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two houses that the Reiner family owns across the street from each other. Rob and his wife lived in one and a daughter with kids lived in another, according to the neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\u2019re a big presence on the block. They\u2019re always having parties,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
