Actress Lucy Hale commented, “❤️✨??.”
Country band Little Big town commented on a bunch of red heart emojis as did Michelle Pfiefer.
Linda Thompson wrote, “Beautiful sweet Leslie! How you are missed! You still have the same cherub look you had when you were a kid! ❤️??????.”
“When there’s a seismic impact, you can’t avoid continuing to feel the vibrations. Keep living, Leslie.?,” replied another.
Actor Justin Long commented, “If there is a way to access Instagram in the afterlife, I think Leslie is checking these messages and being “ticked” by them. I remember referring to people who follow her here as “followers” and she corrected me,” I prefer to call them ‘friends,'” he said. When I was able to hang out with him in Chattanooga, I watched him treat fans who would approach him with kindness and humor – as you would a friend. The joy and happiness of his life will always be with me – and so will his unique voice when I say the words “good” and “damn” in order ?❤️.”

Leslie died on October 24 after suffering a “medical emergency” behind the wheel of his BMW. He lost control of his vehicle and crashed into the side of a building in Hollywood, California. Leslie was on her way to the set of “Call Me Kat” at the time of the accident.
