“To all of you, you will never know how much I appreciate your kindness toward my family,” he added.

Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ruled on Friday that the charges against Baldwin related to Halyna Hutchins’ death should be dropped.

The court also determined that Baldwin could not be recharged in the case, ending the criminal proceedings against him.

Responses to the Baldwin post came from former CNN host Don Lemon, comedian Amy Sedaris, and Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins.

“We love you,” said Sedaris, a guest star on Baldwin’s 30 Rock in 2012.
