Yash Chopra's death led to an outpouring of grief by celebrities on Twitter. Here are some tweets...

Amitabh Bachchan ‏{@SrBachchan}

Yash Chopra - 44 years of association .. of creativity, friendship, fun and family ties .. each moment so vivid even now .. gone !! Just back from his studio where he lies still and motionless .. this was the first time I ever saw him on his back in 44 yrs !! They have all gone one by one ... no one of substance left to recreate those days when he started .. energy, verve, passion ...IWHD. It was his domain !!

Shah Rukh Khan {‏@iamsrk}

Whenever my loved ones depart, ı feel a part of me extinguishes itself with them. Will there come a day that I will no longer have a bit of myself to let go of? And then the thought follows, that every time they have taken some of me with them onto theır last journey , I have found a fragment of them left inside me too. I will always have some love to give and I will always be both emptied and replenished by the loved ones I lose. I keep u wıth me Yashjı and I mıss u too Yashjı...lots.

Shattering, hard to accept. Yash was more than a friend, a brother. I am numb and have no words to express my grief.
