I'm still speechless, and so are so many people all around the world.

A number of Nollywood celebrities have taken to social media to share their dismay, share stories about, and mourn the legend that is Ada Ameh. Here's what just a couple of them had to say about her passing.

I met this woman once on set and she was so sweet like she had known me before. All I could think of was the grief she was experiencing, cause I had seen several videos where she spoke about her mental health. This is really sad😔

Rest well Ada Ameh🕊

2. Leo Dasilva

Rest in peace Ada Ameh. You brought joy to all of us with your talent.

Ada Ameh’s death is so painful. One of My fav on The Johnsons especially when she says “a lucky lo lo” “Apor” .. she just lost a child and her now.. May God put us through our tough times. This one is very painful 😖

The fact that we have to experience grief at some point in our lives and then try to live with such an intense emotion is so mind blowing. If the news is true, Rest well Ada Ameh, I loved watching you on tv. I hope you’re at a place where pain is a fiction of our imagination.

I am yet to absorb the news of her death, a devastating one but true talent never dies, she lives on because her legacies live on - Fred Amata speaking to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos

17. Segun Arinze

It is a crazy morning for me to wake up to this kind of news, it is more than heart-wrenching for me. I am surprised that she was talking about mental health issues and nobody was looking in her direction. I think it is high time we actors began to check on one another, we should value ourselves, reach out to one another. I do that sometimes, everything is not all about money and hustling. I pray God grants her family and we, her friends the fortitude to bear the loss, it is a sad one but she has played her part - Segun Arinze speaking to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos

I still cannot believe that Ada Ameh is actually dead. Rest in peace Ada. May your sweet soul rest in perfect peace.

That's All.
