Ben Stiller says Bob Saget was "there for our family". The 'Severance' actor has paid tribute to the late comedian - who died earlier this month aged 65 - and opened up on the close bond he shared with Ben's late parents Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller.

He told 'Entertainment Tonight': "He was there for our family. He loved my parents, my parents loved him over the years. "And that's what I take away, is the heart that he had and the way he touched so many people, which I think you felt when we lost him.

Just a genuinely good person. " The 56-year-old star hailed Bob's "warmth" and love "he had for people", and revealed the comedian was "always" keeping in touch.

He added: "Bob was incredibly respected in the comedy and acting world. He was just one of the funniest people ever. "But what I really remember about him is his energy, his warmth and his outgoing, just, love that he had for people, and he was always reaching out. " Following the 'Full House' actor's death on January, Ben's sister Amy Stiller shared a photo of him speaking at the memorial for their mother Anne in 2015.
