Her tribute posted on IG, July 13, 2026:
Sam. When we lived together in that little bubble for Jurassic World Dominion, in a hotel seven minutes from set, for four and a half months, I said that if anyone was going to go through a pandemic together, I was so glad it was with you. I still am.
Sam was exactly who you hoped he’d be. Funny, warm, wickedly self-deprecating, endlessly kind. A beautiful human being who happened to also be Alan Grant.
Sam had an immense passion for life. Generous with his wine, his stories, his time. One of the most unassumingly attractive and magnetic people I’ve ever met. One of the greats, in every sense. He loved his home. He loved his family, his pets, his farm. He was a friend to everyone.
I’m so sad for the world today but especially for those who got to see him every day. He lit up every room he walked into and made the experience of being human feel dazzling.
My heart is with his family and everyone who loved him. And truly, everyone did.
I love you, Sam. I miss you. I love you.

Aww
He was a wonderful human
So glad he was blessed with a happy life
I was thinking tonight how wonderful and kind a life you must have lived to have such an outpouring of grief and warm words said about your passing. In what can feel like a really mean spirited world at times, it feels lucky to have people like Sam who made so many people smile.
Rest in Peace.
Awe, rip to a legend
