\n\tThe Studio<\/a> will no longer appear at Apple TV\u2019s press day next week, following the news of Catherine O\u2019Hara\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\n\tApple TV is hosting a press day on Tuesday at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The Studio was scheduled as one of the panel\u2019s discussions until O\u2019Hara\u2019s passing. On Friday afternoon, Apple TV sent out an update to the press announcing that they have respectfully bowed out. The event, which promotes TV shows and movies for the year and beyond, had only been announced to the press.<\/p>\n

\n\tO\u2019Hara died Friday at the age of 71 at her home in Los Angeles after a brief illness, The Hollywood Reporter\u00a0<\/a>confirmed. The two-time Emmy winning actress was known for roles in Schitt\u2019s Creek, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Studio, among many more.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actress earned an Emmy nomination for best supporting actress in a comedy series for season one of The Studio. O\u2019Hara was set to reprise her role as movie executive Patty Leigh in season two, which began production earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter she died, The Studio\u2019s cast, crew and producers shared their condolences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeth Rogen, who stars as movie studio head Matt Remick and also co-created the series, shared an emotional post on Instagram. \u201cI told O\u2019Hara when I first met her I thought she was the funniest person I\u2019d ever had the pleasure of watching on screen,\u201d Rogen wrote. \u201cHome Alone was the movie that made me want to make movies. Getting to work with her was a true honour. She was hysterical, kind, intuitive, generous \u2026 she made me want to make our show good enough to be worthy of her presence in it. This is just devastating. We\u2019re all lucky we got to live in a world with her in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tApple TV and Lionsgate shared a joint statement, \u201cWe are all heartbroken by the loss of Catherine O\u2019Hara. An undeniable legend, icon, and incomparable talent, Catherine elevated every project she was a part of, including the singular genius she brought to her role on The Studio, and every transcendent performance she gifted to us. Her artistic accomplishments will forever bring humor, light, and love for generations to come, and her brilliance and generosity of spirit touched everyone around her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are at a loss for words at the passing of our friend Catherine O\u2019Hara. She was a hero to all of us, and we pinched ourselves every day that we got to work with her on The Studio,\u201d the cast and crew of the series shared in a separate statement. \u201cShe was somehow classy, warm, and hilarious all at the same time. We\u2019re unbelievably saddened she is gone and send our deepest sympathy to Bo and all her family.\u201d<\/p>\n
