Hollywood is remembering Anthony Bourdain, who was found dead in his hotel room on Friday morning from suicide. He was 61 years old. The famed chef and travel host was in France filming new episodes of his series Parts Unknown for CNN.

Colleagues and fans took to social media to express their grief over his passing including fellow chef Gordon Ramsay, who also included the numbers to suicide prevention hotlines in the U.S. and the UK. "Stunned and saddened by the loss of Anthony Bourdain. He brought the world into our homes and inspired so many people to explore cultures and cities through their food. Remember that help is a phone call away US:1-800-273-TALK UK: 116 123," he tweeted.

Chef Tom Colicchio, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chrissy Teigen and more also offered their condolences, encouraging those who may be struggling with depression to seek the help that they need.

Even President Trump offered consolation, saying "I want to extend to his family my heartfelt condolences," to reporters Friday morning. "I enjoyed his show, he was quite a character."

RIP doubtful. Tony's restless spirit will roam the earth in search of justice, truth and a great bowl of noodles. @Bourdain

I've brushed up against this darkness and I know it's a tempting exit but REACH OUT to ANYONE. Stay on this side of it - in the light and warmth. Where you get to try again, every day.

Anthony Bourdain lived in a way that most of us should. A seeker of the unknown & a man who exposed magnificent parts of the world to us through our TVs. I don't even know what to say, this makes me so damn sad. I truly loved him & what he stood for.

His wisdom, his insight, his humor, his compassion, his staunch resistance to the inauthentic and support of all that resonates from the heart, and his passion for life that he shared with the us....Its difficult to process a world without Anthony Bourdain.
