Hollywood is mourning the death of Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman.

The 95-year-old Oscar-nominated actor, his wife and their dog were found dead in their New Mexico home, authorities said Thursday.

Foul play was not suspected, but authorities did not release circumstances of their deaths and said an investigation was ongoing.

“The loss of a great artist, always cause for both mourning and celebration: Gene Hackman a great actor, inspiring and magnificent in his work and complexity,” Francis Ford Coppola wrote on Instagram with a photo of the two on the set of “The Conversation.” “I mourn his loss, and celebrate his existence and contribution.”

Edgar Wright simply remembered Hackman as “the greatest.”

“We have lost one of the true giants of the screen,” George Takei posted. “Gene Hackman could play anyone, and you could feel a whole life behind it. He could be everyone and no one, a towering presence or an everyday Joe. That’s how powerful an actor he was. He will be missed, but his work will live on forever.”

“So awful,” Paul Feig posted. “Gene was such an inspiration to so many of us who love movies. So many brilliant roles. His performance in The Conversation alone changed the way I looked at acting and what actors could bring to a role. Such an amazing career. RIP Mr. Hackman.”

“I am crushed by the sudden deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa (and their dog),” Josh Brolin posted. “Crushed. He was always one of my favorites. Not many who beat to their own drums like he did. Rest in Peace.”

He was a five-time Oscar nominee who won for “The French Connection” in 1972 and “Unforgiven” two decades later. His death comes just four days before this year’s ceremony.
