Yesterday morning, actor Damian Lewis announced that his wife, Peaky Blinders and Harry Potter actress Helen McCrory had passed away at home from cancer. There was shock from friends, costars and fans, and many rushed to tribute the actress.

Cillian Murphy, Helen's costar in Peaky Blinders:

“I am broken-hearted to lose such a dear friend. Helen was a beautiful, caring, funny, compassionate human being. She was also a gifted actor - fearless and magnificent. She elevated and made humane every scene, every character she played. It was a privilege to have worked with this brilliant woman, to have shared so many laughs over the years. I will dearly miss my pal. My love and thoughts are with Damian and her family.”

Every time I met you, I was a little nervous. But you were always so gracious to me. Your body of work is testament to the phenomenal actor you were. You always shined gracefully on and off screen. You’ll be missed. Love and thoughts to Damien and family #HelenMcCrory pic.twitter.com/vGuVKJKfAH

Filming without Helen McCrory has been so difficult.
Her passing away today is a real shock. She was a dear friend. She was humane, intelligent, unflinching, and a fighter to the end. A truly amazing woman. I'm speechless. I'm going offline. pic.twitter.com/nFVlxlrrPL
