After the death of Richard Simmons, Hollywood mourns the loss of a positive person who impacted many lives.
Pauly Shore Reacts to Richard Simmons' Death
One such tribute came from Pauly Shore, who had previously made an unauthorized biopic about the late fitness legend just months before he died at age 76. Simmons objected to it at the time.
“I have just learned, like everyone else, that the beautiful Richard Simmons has passed away,” he began in an Instagram post on Friday. “I hope you are at peace and shining in heaven.
"Give my mom Mitzi and my dad Sammy a big hug and a kiss from me," Shore added. "You are one of a kind, Richard. An amazing life. An amazing story. They tore the dolphin pants apart when they made you. Rest in peace, my friend. Rest in peace."
