Schitt’s Creek co-creator Dan Levy described Catherine O’Hara as “family before she ever played my family” after his co-star’s death at the age of 71.

The Canadian-American actress, who won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her role in the TV comedy series, died on Friday at her home in Los Angeles “following a brief illness”, according to her agency CAA.
