He also said that Olivia was a "beautiful, warm, loving person," and that she "just radiated goodness."
He added: "She was there for everybody all the time. She was so generous... here in Australia we just loved her. It was always 'our' Olivia. She was just a good person, she was immensely proud of her achievements... she was a dame, she had four Grammys... but at the core of it all she was just a good person."

"It's alright," Karl said, giving his co-star a hug. "She touched everyone, didn't she? Even through a Zoom call, whether it was someone in a hospital, someone on the boardwalks of Hollywood who didn't even know her that well, that depth of feeling, this woman was extraordinary."
"Well, I'm still numb," Richard said. "I've got nothing more to say."
John had led the tributes to Olivia after her death was announced by her husband John Easterling.
