Her former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Lisa Rinna left a pray and heart emoji in the comments section.

Others were still in disbelief that Kristoff had died. “It doesn't seem real,” a follower commented. “I can't believe he's gone.”
Kristoff died suddenly on Sunday, February 3, at the age of 52. Fans of the show were initially furious that it did not properly address his passing.
The show ultimately aired several episodes that allowed both costars and viewers to say goodbye to Neil’s character Neil Winters. Eileen, along with many others like Shemar Moore, returned to Y&R specifically for him.
