Celebrity colleagues and admirers of Robin Williams shared their reactions on Monday to his death at age 63 in an apparent suicide:

"I am completely and totally devastated. What more can be said?," - Pam Dawber, Williams' co-star in the TV comedy "Mork and Mindy."

"Robin was a lightning storm of comic genius and our laughter was the thunder that sustained him. He was a pal and I can't believe he's gone." - Steven Spielberg.

"I could not be more stunned by the loss of Robin Williams, mensch, great talent, acting partner, genuine soul." - Steve Martin.

"I saw him on stage the very first time he auditioned at the Improv and we have been friends ever since. It's a very sad day." - Jay Leno.

"We have lost one of our most inspired and gifted comic minds, as well as one of this generation's greatest actors. To watch Robin work, was a magical and special privilege. His performances were unlike anything any of us had ever seen, they came from some spiritual and otherworldly place. He truly was one of the few people who deserved the title of 'genius.'" - Chris Columbus.

"Robin was as sweet a man as he was funny. If you're sad, please tell someone." - Jimmy Kimmel.

"Robin was friend, boss, brother, inspiration. His generosity and intelligence knew no limits." - Harvey Fierstein.

"I've never known a sweeter, brighter, more considerate person than Robin. Robin's commitment as an artist to lifting our mood and making us happy is compared to none. He loved us all and we loved him back." - John Travolta.
