A somber Mary-Kate Olsen is spotted in New York City after the tragic death of Full House TV dad Bob Saget
A somber Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted walking the streets of New York, just days after the shocking death of her TV father, Bob Saget.
Mary-Kate, along with twin sister Ashley, famously played Bob's daughter, Michelle, on the classic show Full House.
On Tuesday, Mary-Kate kept her head glued to her phone as she walked past on a cold day.
The star cradled a cup of coffee on her arm and wore a black jacket with a blue scarf poking out from inside.
She stayed warm by wearing a wool cap, sunglasses and covering her mouth with a mask.
In the wake of the devastating news, the Olsen twins, both 35, said they were "deeply saddened."
“Bob was the most loving, compassionate and generous man," they told .
"We are deeply saddened that he is no longer with us but know that he will continue to be by our side to guide us as gracefully as he always has.

“We are thinking of his daughters, wife and family and are sending our condolences.”
Mary-Kate and Ashley both played Michelle Tanner, the daughter of Bob's character Danny Tanner on Full House from 1987 until 1995.
John Stamos - who played Bob's brother-in-law Jessie - also shared his disbelief at Bob's death.
"I am broken. I am gutted. I am in complete and utter shock. I will never ever have another friend like him. I love you so much Bobby," he tweeted.
Candace Cameron Bure, best known as DJ Tanner on the series, said: "I don’t know what to say. I have no words.
"Bob was one of the best human beings I’ve ever known in my life. I loved him so much.";
FATHER FIGURE
Prior to Bob's death, he and his Full House co-stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen kept a close friendship over the years, despite more than two decades passing since their show ended.
Though the duo never returned to reprise their role in the Netflix sequel series, Fuller House, they remained close with the comedian and often supported each other at events and with other projects.
During their time on Full House and beyond, the Olsens starred in a slew of TV and direct-to-video movies, including 1992’s To Grandmother's House We Go.
Not only was this first film of theirs directed and co-written by Full House creator, Jeff Franklin, but Bob also made sure to pop up in a cameo role in support of the girls.
The America's Funniest Home Videos host years later went on to book-end it all by having a second cameo, this time in the Olsens’ final, as of now, co-starring movie, 2004’s New York Minute.
Not a one-way friendship, the fashion designers showed their love and appreciation for their onscreen dad by supporting organizations close to his heart.
Though they haven’t acted in years and have worked to mostly stay out of the public eye, the two have often been by the late actor’s side at the Scleroderma Research Foundation’s Cool Comedy Hot Cuisine fundraiser.
“They’re always incredibly generous and I’ll see them in L.A.," Bob told in 2018. "We make a point of seeing each other at least once or twice a year.”
He added at the time that he’s “very close emotionally” with them and “loves” them, even feeling like they’re “related” because of their years of friendship and time playing family members on TV.
CIRCUMSTANCES UNKNOWN
The actor was found dead at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando on Sunday, just hours after putting on a comedy show the night before.
The Sheriff’s Department and fire department arrived at the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando at around 4pm after Bob was found in his room by hotel security.
He was pronounced dead at the scene but the circumstances of his death are unknown at this time.
Cops said they found "no signs of foul play or drug use".
Bob's family said in a statement to : "We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today.
