Rob Reiner’s eldest daughter has spoken publicly following the tragic deaths of her father and stepmother, marking the first family response since the devastating news emerged. The acclaimed filmmaker and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead inside their Brentwood, California, home on Sunday, December 14.
Authorities have confirmed that the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division is actively investigating the case. In a statement released through a family spokesperson, the Reiners confirmed the loss and asked for privacy. “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner,” the statement read.
“We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.” Police officials have said the investigation is ongoing and that no suspects have been publicly identified. During a press conference, LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton emphasized that the department is still in the early stages of gathering facts. He noted that detectives are continuing their work and that no one has been named as a person of interest at this time. Rob and Michele shared three children together: Jake, Nick, and Romy.
Reiner also had a daughter, Tracy, from his first marriage to actress Penny Marshall. Tracy was the first of his children to comment publicly, telling NBC News that she was struggling to process the loss. “I came from the greatest family ever,” she said. “I don’t know what to say. I’m in shock.” Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner had been married since 1989 after meeting on the set of When Harry Met Sally. Tributes continue to pour in as the investigation continues and the family mourns their loss.
