Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Celebrities took to social media to mourn the loss of actor Leslie Jordan, who died in a car accident after potentially suffering a medical emergency on Monday. The star of Will and Grace, Sordid Lives and Call Me Kat was 67.
Megan Mullally, who played Karen in Will and Grace, in which Jordan won an Emmy for the role of Beverley Leslie, said, "I really can't believe it. Leslie Jordan was, hands down, one of the greats. People use that expression a lot, and I'm not sure it's always applicable. There aren't that many people who are truly great at anything. But Leslie was flawlessly funny, a virtuoso of comedy. His timing, his delivery, all apparently effortless. You can't get any better than that.
Mayim Bialik, his co-star on Call Me Kat, tweeted: "They broke the mold when they made Leslie Jordan. He was a dear mentor and a beloved friend. I will miss him so much - it's unimaginable that he's gone. Rest well, sweet buddy."
Actress Octavia Spencer, who starred in The Help with Jordan, tweeted: "I can't express my sadness for his only surviving sister and his dear love M. There's a hole in my heart. I love and miss you, buddy."
Loni Love, who guest co-hosted with Jordan on The Talk, said "The last time I worked with Leslie Jordan... we guest co hosted The Talk.. Leslie was so much fun to be around, always had a funny story and he inspired me to keep going in an industry that could be ageist ... I will miss you my friend.. Mama is waiting on you."
