Sarah Jessica Parker has broken her silence following the death of her Sex and the City costar and friend Willie Garson.
Calling the past few days "unbearable", Sarah Jessica shared a series of old pictures of her and Willie together on set and holidays.
"Sometimes silence is a statement," she shared, "of the gravity. The anguish. The magnitude of the loss of a 30 + year friendship. A real friendship that allowed for secrets, adventure, a shared professional family, truth, concerts, road trips, meals, late night phone calls, a mutual devotion to parenthood and all the heartaches and joy that accompany, triumphs, disappointments, fear, rage and years spent on sets (most especially Carrie's apartment) and laughing late into the night as both Stanford and Carrie and Willie and SJ."

The actress continued: "Willie. I will miss everything about you. And replay our last moments together. I will re-read every text from your final days and put to pen our last calls. Your absence a crater that I will fill with blessing of these memories and all the ones that are still in recesses yet to surface."
She went on to send her "love and deepest sympathies and condolences to you dear Nathen".
