Reiner, 78, is known for directing classic films like "The Princess Bride", "Spinal Tap" and "When Harry Met Sally".

As an actor, he appeared in TV shows like "All In The Family" and movies, including a small part playing Max Belfort, the father of Leonardo Di Caprio's Jordan Belfort in "The Wolf of Wall Street."

Found dead at home

Police said the pair were pronounced dead at the home, and no one has been arrested so far in connection to the case.

“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time,” a spokesperson for the family said in a statement to the U.S. media.
