Following news of his death, fans took to Kilmer’s Instagram and X, formerly Twitter, to pay their respects.

“It’s got that late-night glow. Cool tones with a low burn, like when the camp fire cools down but you’re still wide awake,” the California native captioned his last post. “12” x 20″ plexi-glazed, signed, and ready to hang. ValKilmer.com.”

“Miss you legend! Thank you for the memories,” X user @HighEndGarrett shared. “Bringing smiles and joy to more than you know.”

According to Kilmer’s website, he was an artist in the truest sense of the word.

“My name is Val Kilmer. I’m an artist. I’ve lived a magical life. For more than half a century, I have been honing my art, no matter the medium. Be it literature, movies, poetry, painting, music, or tracking exotic and beautiful wildlife in the most remote African bush, to capture ephemeral moments with a camera, I yearn to express my creative spirit.”
