“I am sad to have to post that Al Strobel passed away last night. I loved him dearly,” she wrote.
Strobel was best known for playing Phillip Gerard in the drama series, which originally premiered on ABC in 1990 and ran for two seasons.
The show returned in a 2014 film and eventually came back in the form of a series in 2017.
Strobel appeared in all iterations of Twin Peaks, playing the eerie Gerard.
The actor lost his left arm in a car accident when he was 17 and he used this in Gerard’s character in the show, playing him as a man who cut off his own arm to stop an evil force from possessing him.
Strobel also appeared in films such as Megaville alongside Billy Zane and Ricochet River with Kate Hudson.
He retired in the early 2000s but stepped back into the spotlight to reprise his role as Gerard in Twin Peaks: The Return in 2017.
Twin Peaks series co-creator Mark Frost shared an emotional tribute to Strobel following the news of his death.
“Oh no…Dear Al…as those of you lucky enough to have met him over the years, what a warm and wonderful gentleman he was. RIP, friend,” he wrote.
Dana Ashbrook, who played bad boy jock Bobby Briggs wrote: “Sad, sad news…love Al. He was the sweetest of men.”
“As authentic an actor as I ever met. So precise so real. RIP. Al,” wrote producer Harley Peyton.
