After news broke that legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead at their Brentwood, Los Angeles home, Billy Crystal went to the scene late on December 14, 2025.
Crystal, 77, and fellow actor Larry David arrived separately at Reiner’s residence. They stayed only briefly but their presence was immediately noticed by neighbors.
Emotional Reaction
Close friend shows visible grief
As Crystal left the home, he appeared visibly upset. A neighbor told local news outlets that Crystal looked like he was about to cry — a sign of deep sorrow over the loss of his longtime collaborator and friend.
Video footage from outside the house also shows Crystal wiping away tears as he walked with his wife, Janice, highlighting how personally the tragedy affected him.
A Bond Beyond Work
Shared history with Reiner
Crystal’s visit wasn’t just professional — it was personal. He and Reiner had worked together on several films over the decades, including When Harry Met Sally…, This Is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. Their friendship dated back to the mid‑1970s, with a long history of collaboration and mutual respect.
