Celebrities Publicly Mourn Steve Jobs' Death Via Twitter

By Ikam Acosta

Steve Jobs made an incredible impact on society as a brilliant innovator in the field of computer technology. In the wake of his death, many have stepped forward to mourn his loss and share how his genius has affected their lives.

Celebrities took to Twitter to express their appreciation and sadness for the Apple founder. Ashton Kutcher tweeted,

"Sending love & light to everyone @Apple & the entire Jobs family. Today we lost a Giant who will be missed even by those who didn't know him... We have all surfed on the wake of Steve Jobs ship. Now we must learn to sail, but we will never forget our skipper... I never thought I could be so busted up about someone I never met. #stevejobs"

Jane Lynch wrote,

"We will miss you, Steve Jobs. Sent lovingly from my iPhone."

Josh Groban shared his first memories of Apple when he was little.

"Such a sad day, I can trace my apple memories to the IIC when I was a kid. RIP."

So can I, Josh, so can I. The IIc was my first computer as well.

Anderson Cooper said it best when he tweeted,

"I think a lot of us dream of making the world a better place- Steve Jobs actually did."

Amen, Cooper.

Alyssa Milano expressed how much Apple products have enriched her life, and I think she speaks for a lot of people.

"Rest in peace, Steve Jobs. You were always a big part of my world with your special inventions. Thank you for your brain."

Ryan Seacrest eulogized Jobs with one of his quotes,

"Have the courage to follow ur heart & intuition. They already know what u truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Alec Baldwin equated Steve Jobs with other great visionaries when he tweeted,

"Sad about Steve Jobs. On par with Henry Ford, Carnegie, and Edison."

Kevin Spacey echoes the famous Apple slogan in his tweet,

"The world has lost a true visionary today. Think different."

Danny DeVito expressed his loss by tweeting,

"Steve Jobs miss you from the planet have you with me every day on earth."

I'm sure most of us will carry around a piece of Steve everywhere we go for years to come.

There is no doubt that many people found out about his death, ironically, through their Apple devices. I found out via a Facebook feed I read on my Mac Powerbook. It is only appropriate that the very device Steve invented would be used to eulogize him and pay tribute to such an amazing man.

How has Steve Jobs enriched your life?
