The actor passed away in Los Angeles on Monday (14.08.06) from complications related to leukaemia - a disease he had only recently been diagnosed with.
His widow, Lynn Sellers, said in a statement: "We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support we have received from Bruno's fans and colleagues who have admired and respected his work over the past 30 years.
"Bruno's spirit will continue to live on not only in his rich body of film and television work but also through the lives of individuals he has touched throughout his life." Bruno, 57, starred in a host of Hollywood films, including 'When Harry Met Sally', 'City Slickers' alongside Billy Crystal, 'The Godfather: Part II' and 'Good Morning Vietnam'.
So far no information about funeral arrangements has been made available.
Lynn added: "We ask that contributions be made in Bruno Kirby's name to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at 6033 West Century Blvd., Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 90045."
