As the world mourns the passing of 'Martin' star Tommy Ford, celebrities have taken to social media to share their condolences.
Rest In Peace: Celebrity Friends Turn To Social Media To Remember Tommy Ford

News of Tommy Ford’s death trended throughout the evening on social media, a reminder of that Martin was, and still remains, a cultural juggernaut. The show ran for five seasons from 1992 to 1997, and fan-favorite Ford appeared in all of them. Stars from music, film and comedy all shared their memories of the hit ’90s show and their favorite “Tommy” moments. PEOPLE reported that some of his co-stars, like Tichinia Arnold, rushed to his side in Atlanta upon hearing that he was on life support on Sunday. Arnold played Tommy’s girlfriend Pamela on the series, telling PEOPLE: “My heart is with the family and I just hope everyone respects their privacy at this time. Ford died after suffering a ruptured aneurysm in his abdomen. Check out the other celebrities who sent the late star love. Martin Lawrence   Missy Elliot
