Hart's tribute continued in a follow-up Instagram post in which he shared another image of himself and his father. \"RIP spoon …..😢🙏🏾,\" he captioned the post.

The \"Ride Along\" actor's friends, including Wanda Sykes, Chelsea Handler, T-Pain, Ludacris and the Wayans brothers, among others, all shared their condolences in the comments section of the posts.

\"So sorry Kev. Love you. Keep making them proud brother,\" actor and comedian Marlon Wayans wrote.

\"Sorry Kev. Sending you and your family lots of love.❤️🙏🏾,\" Sykes wrote in a separate comment.

The actor's mother Nancy Hart died of cancer in 2007. In an interview for \"Oprah's Masterclass\" in 2017, he opened up about the tough loss and how he planned to keep her energy alive by way of his father and older brother Robert.

\"All that energy went to my dad and to my brother. This is our little family,\" Hart said at the time. \"If we don't try to make this last name mean something, then we have nothing that's going to live on. My last name means something now, but it's because we made it mean something.\"
