Laura Dern has penned an emotional tribute to her “Jurassic Park” and “Jurassic World Dominion” co-star Sam Neill, saying: “I will love you forever, Dr. Alan Grant.”

The news broke on Monday that Neill had died at the age of 78. He was diagnosed with a form of blood cancer in 2022, but revealed earlier this year that he was cancer free.

In a statement to Variety, Dern said: “Sam was my beloved lifetime friend… He showed me the depths of loyalty, protectiveness and love always with the driest of wit. He was a true and noble gentleman, wrapped up in my dream leading man. I will love you forever, Dr. Alan Grant.”
