Our beautiful friend Emma Chambers has died at the age of 53. We're very very sad. She was a great, great comedy performer, and a truly fine actress. And a tender, sweet, funny, unusual, loving human being. pic.twitter.com/vLQcRcv2Ex

While Hugh Grant, who made 'Nothing Hill' with Emma, wrote: "Emma Chambers was a hilarious and very warm person and of course a brilliant actress. Very sad news.”
