Roberto Gomez Bolaños, who was better known as Chespirito, was an important Mexican figure, but his reach was far and wide.

One of his characters, El Chapulín Colorado, was the inspiration for The Bumblebee Man, a character on "The Simpsons." Chespirito was also a legend across Latin America, and celebrities of different countries took to social media to pay tribute to the comedian, who died on Nov. 28.

One of his co-stars, Maria Antonieta de las Nieves, also known as La Chilindrina, wrote about the comedian in a Twitter post.

"Thank you for having made so many people happy and for the marvelous moments we shared in our team," she said. "Rest in peace Roberto."

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto was also one of the first to share his condolences.

"Mexico has lost an icon, whose work has transcended generations and borders," he said.

Angelique Boyer reached out to Chespirito's son. After Roberto Gómez Fernández thanked his dad for everything, Boyer tweeted at him. "I'm very sorry, Bob," she said.

Argentine actor Sebastián Rulli also wrote to Fernández. Before that, Rulli had written his own message about what Chespirito meant to him.

"One of my idols @ChespiritoRGB has left!" Rulli said. "Creative, noble, sensible, talented and a great human being. He taught us a lot and left us more. #RIP"

Thalia wrote a lengthy message on Instagram in honor of the comedian. She also shared a picture of the two, where she appears to be singing to him. Thalia explained that Chespirito was a dear friend and that he brought much happiness to her life. She ended the message by saying that the entire world mourned for Chespirito.

Others shared quick messages, such as Jose Ron. The actor shared an image of an El Chapulín Colorado logo.

"Thank you for so much," he said.

For Chiquis Rivera, it was an opportunity to look at how much Chespirito shaped her childhood. His shows, which are still aired today, have been around for four decades.

"Thank you for so many good memories filled will laughter and happiness during my childhood," she said.

Alejandra Espinoza called the comedian the Hispanic community's superhero, referencing his El Chapulín Colorado character. She also shared a cartoon of Chespirito in heaven.

Athletes, such as Chicharito Hernandez and Neymar also wrote about the comedian.
