Bryan Cranston has said that it was "just heartbreaking" to lose Catherine O'Hara.
O'Hara, who starred in Home Alone and Schitt's Creek, passed away in January aged 71 from a pulmonary embolism, having been battling cancer. A death certificate was submitted by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.
The actress had worked with Cranston on a number of projects including, comedy series, 30 Rock, action film, Argylle, as well as the Apple TV hit, The Studio, which saw O'Hara play Patty Leigh, a rival to Cranston's character, Griffin Mill.
The pair had also appeared together on the chat show, Watch What Happens Live, hosted by Andy Cohen.
Appearing alongside Better Call Saul star, Rhea Seehorn on Variety's Actors On Actors Show, Bryan Cranston said O'Hara was "such a joy to be with", and described her death as "sad".
"Oh, we miss her so much", Cranston said.
"I played Catherine O’Hara’s husband in three different productions. And then she was my nemesis in The Studio", he continued. "I miss her so much. She was such a joy to be with".
The Malcolm In The Middle star added: "Catherine O’Hara was a person who you not only marvelled at her comedic chops, but when it’s 'cut’, you say ‘I want to sit next to Catherine’.
"It was just heartbreaking to lose her".
Back in January, Bryan Cranston paid this moving tribute to O'Hara on Instagram.
"I am completely devastated today upon hearing of this great lady passing away. Catherine O’Hara was a genius comedic actor, and a beautiful human being. I adored her", he wrote. "We worked together as husband and wife I think three or four times… I’ve lost count. And then again just last year as rivals on The Studio".
"Working with Catherine was like playing tennis with Venus Williams. She never let you feel it - but you just tried to volley the ball back to her, hoping that you can come close to her level of talent. She was brilliant, and joyful", he added. "I think back on all the years where I laughed so much at what she did on screen… I have to. I need to, because now all I can do is cry.
I’ll miss you. Make ‘em laugh in heaven. B".
