Kyra Sedgwick was one of the first to respond to Kevin's message, simply replying with a red love heart emoji.
Kevin will no doubt be supported by his family during this difficult time. The actor is incredibly close to his wife and children, Sosie and Travis, who both followed in their parents footsteps in the entertainment industry.

Travis is in a band, while Sosie is an actress. And while the celebrity couple are more than supportive of their children's careers, they were initially worried about how their children would cope in the notoriously cut-throat environment.

Kevin suffered a very public breakdown during a slump in his own career and he didn't want his children to suffer that.
The Footloose told the Telegraph in 2013: "You're only as happy as your least happy child. We were only thinking about the struggle. "And you want your children to live a life with as little struggle as possible. You never want bad things to happen. But of course, that's just not possible."
Kevin and Kyra's children have both followed in their footsteps
Kyra is in agreement and said in a previous interview: "Honestly, I really just want them to be happy. It is difficult being in this business, knowing how hard it is even when you're successful.
