Following the news, stars and family took to social media to share tributes to Madsen.
His sister Virginia Madsen posted a photo of them with her mom, writing in the caption, "He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother — etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark. We're not mourning a public figure. We're not mourning a myth — but flesh and blood and ferocious heart."
