KTLA's Jessica Holmes pays tribute to Sam Rubin 

The reaction of his colleagues/ friends says a lot about his character. RIP Sam💙

😭😭😭😭Jessica was the first person to come to mind when I heard about Sam passing, you could tell that she had so much respect and love for Sam I knew she would be heart broken😢😢😢 MAY HE REST IN PEACE🙏🕊

He’s one of the original OG’s of channel 5! I’m going to miss him a lot!!😢

I've never commented on a passing of a celebrity or entertaining news men or woman....but have to now grew up watching Sam Ruben always smiling did his job the right way...sad day today RIP Sam...you definitely are loved and will be missed.

Dude was such high energy He will be missed

One of my favorite anchors. So sad...

I really feel so sorry for Jessica. Sam was always not only her colleague, but a best friend of being with him at many Hollywood events. It won’t be the same from here. 💔

Sending Thoughts and Prayers to the Rubin Family and KTLA.

I grew up with him. He was always on TV . This isn't fair 😢 🙏🏻

Sam was so awesome to watch, we'll miss you my man Rest in peace.

Poor Jessica. My heart breaks for her and Frank.

His energy was so contagious. He will be missed.

Sam deserves the Hollywood Star on Hollywood walk of fame RIP Sam Rubin

IMO-Sam Rubin lights up the room with laughter & his good way antics and in my view everyone at KTLA treat their colleagues as an extension of their own family - it shows from your interaction with one another. RIP Sam!

He's a rare gem. A stand up guy. Wow what a career!! RIP Sam Rubin 😢

I liked him a lot. Rest in peace Sam. Prayers for your family members.

Condolences to the Rubin and KTLA families. It will be so different without seeing him on Channel 5. His smiles, laughter, voice, and presence, such as at award shows (i.e Oscars) will forever be engrained in the lives of many. He joins the legendary KTLA reporters who brought excellence to news coverage (i.e Hal Fishman, Larry McCormack, Stan Chambers), and have come and gone. He will forever be missed. Thank you, Sam!

I starting watching the KTLA morning news from the beginning. Sam being gone is just heartbreaking. It’s like losing a family member even though I never met him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, his family and friends.

He’ll be missed and be loved nothing but the best wishes to his family special growing up watching him. We all love him and miss him, but the best wishes to his family.

It has to be so hard for her. RIP Sam ❤🌹

SAM RUBIN: 1960-2024 , I am so sorry to hear about Sam Rubin. He was a class act all the way. Even though he left us too soon, we should all take comfort in knowing that he is with the Lord. Sam has received his heavenly crown. Sam is back home with the Lord. I can’t believe he gone. Nolonger walking this earth with us. Sam Rubin is in a way better place. He’s in heaven. I was to express my heart felt condolences to all his friends and family. KTLA was Sam Rubin second family. He came into our lives for a season, and a reason. We should all feel blessed that Sam Rubin crossed our paths. R.I.H. R I.P. Sam Rubin. Tell Chris Burrows R I.P. R.I.H. That I said hello! Sam Rubin. You and Chris Burrows are missed more than you will ever know. Vivian formally known as Lady Love. This right here hurts …

What a fabulous man. He will be tragically missed RIP Sam ❤

Wow I grew up watching him, so sad 😢

So shocked by the news of Sam’s passing. Saw him every morning, won’t be the same. Condolences to his family and friends.

he really loved what he did. and he loved and honored the history and really had that old hollywood vibe. and his voice was so recognizable and lovely. sending all of you hugs. i grew up with the news on ktla from the sgv. even when i live in new york or elsewhere, i still would watch you guys on yt. this must be a very very hard moment for you guys. 💗

Thank you so much for sharing your feelings, sadness and grief with us. It helps us all heal and cope with this tragic experience. God bless you all.

❤ simply beautiful Sad Jessica

I remember when Sam Rubin asked Samuel L. Jackson about Laurence Fishburn's Super Bowl commercial like he couldn't tell them apart.

RIP Sam 😢 such a fun loving guy.

Omg we lost a REAL one. RIP😢

Sam Rubin LA Legend like Kobe will miss you. Sam Rubin have watched him since the beginning. KTLA was my news station in LA. Now in Vegas I am sadden but happy to have enjoyed his presence as part of my life.

I’m so heartbroken 😔 RIP Mr. Sam

I’ve watch KTLA since ‘04 or ‘06 & when I was in elementary school/middle school once in awhile in the mornings. Once I got to high school if I would wake up late I would watch through my first period sometimes & I always loved the Sam Rubin moments the most! And I’m senior year I took journalism & we got to go to the KTLA studios & I was like famgirling when we met Sam he was so nice

This is so heartbreaking. Thank you, KTLA, for sharing and including us, as your viewers do see you as family. It's shocking news, and we all share your sadness over Sam's passing. I feel like he was the OG, the reliable smile, full of subject knowledge (but always eager to learn more), kind and witty, endearingly corny at times, but the best in his field, unparalleled yet approachable, a trusted source and constant presence - a friend in the business who kept us in the know. I guess he's to KTLA what Vin Scully is, was and always will be to the Dodgers. Like Vin, Sam will always be missed....beloved....irreplaceable.

RIP to a great man, friend and dad

I always loved his segments he was truly my favorite news person on KTLA. Rest in heavenly peace Sam!😢😢😢😢

When ever I would get ready for work, the KTLA family would be, and still is my go to channel. Even when I am not watching, I would be just happy to hear you folks. My condolences to the KTLA family. RIP Sam.

Rest easy Sam. I've got a place for people like you... He can have my room Lord. Three days two nights and the pool is warm and the angels hot.

Sam , every morning for a long time, he will be so missed. Condolences from Canada. So sad.

Just hearing her voice craccin breaks my heart...I'ma Jessica Holmes fan so I'm sad for her and the entire KTLA family💔

I remember when Jessica was auditioning for the KTLA position. The perfect choice. Gosh, losing such a great colleague is heartbreaking. Too young. 💔💔💔

Sam was a class act. He was part of the OG crew of KTLA. Barbara, Carlos, Mark and Sam were THE crew!

Used to interact with Sam... A Class Act!

🙏🙏
