“My friend Rob’s movies will last for lifetimes, because they were about what makes us laugh and cry, and what we aspire to be," Crystal said. “And when Michele Singer entered his life, they were unstoppable."
"A gifted photographer, she not only produced films with Rob, but it was her energy that had them working tirelessly to fight social injustice in the country that they both love," he continued, noting how the Reiners "became the driving force in the landmark decision for marriage equality."

“Their loss is immeasurable," Crystal said. "And to the millions who have enjoyed his films all these years, I want you to know, here and around the world, how many times Rob told me that it meant everything to him that his work meant something to you."
Crystal concluded his tribute to Rob Reiner with a reference to an iconic line from "The Princess Bride." "For us who had the privilege of working with and knowing him and loving him, all we can say is, buddy, what fun we had storming the castle," he said.
The Reiners were stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on Dec. 14, 2025. Their son, Nick Reiner, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges and is being held without bail.
