Statement from Heart of LA Democratic Club about Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner
The Heart of LA Democratic Club is deeply saddened by the devastating news of the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in their Los Angeles home. Rob and Michele were valued members of the Los Angeles community whose creative work, civic engagement, and political involvement touched countless lives across our county and beyond.
Rob Reiner’s contributions to film, television, and public discourse helped shape generations of storytelling grounded in humanity, justice, and democratic values. His long standing advocacy for civil rights, inclusive democracy, and social progress reflected a deep commitment to the public good. Michele Singer Reiner was a creative force and steadfast partner whose presence and generosity enriched the cultural life of our community.
Our hearts are with the Reiner family, their loved ones, friends, and colleagues as they grieve an unimaginable loss. We hold space for their pain and respectfully honor their need for privacy and dignity during this profoundly difficult time.
This tragedy also underscores the reality that many families struggle with mental health challenges, often quietly and without sufficient support. Mental illness can affect individuals and families across all backgrounds and professions, and it deserves compassion, attention, and care. If you or someone you love is experiencing emotional distress, crisis, or feelings of isolation, help is available. In Los Angeles County, mental health resources are accessible 24 hours a day through the Department of Mental Health at 1 800-854-7771, and immediate support is available by texting LA to 741741.
We honor the lives of Rob and Michele Reiner by reaffirming our commitment to building a community rooted in empathy, care, and connection, where seeking help is encouraged and where no one is left to suffer alone.
