Dan Levy paid another tribute to his late Schitt's Creek co-star, Catherine O'Hara, on Tuesday during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The 42-year-old revealed what has been a "great comfort" to him since her passing on January 30 at age 71.
Catherine died at her home in LA following "a brief illness." Her cause of death was later revealed to be a pulmonary embolism, with rectal cancer as the underlying reason.
After Jimmy offered his condolences, Dan said: "Listen, it's like a collective loss, I think. She was the greatest. She's irreplaceable."
He continued: "The great comfort for me has just been to see how loved she was, you know what I mean? The outpouring. Everyone felt like they kind of knew her."

"It's hard to imagine a world without her in it. I will cherish every funny memory I was fortunate enough to make with her. My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke and every member of her big, beautiful family."
