On October 14, the world lost Robbie Coltrane. The Scottish actor, who portrayed Rubeus Hagrid in all eight Harry Potter films, passed away at the age of 72.

Tributes poured out from his castmates, and now Kate Bush has shared a statement following his death. Coltrane starred in the music video for her 2011 single “Deeper Understanding”.

“I was very upset to hear the news about Robbie,” Bush said in a statement on her website.

“I’m really grateful that he agreed to star in a video that we made some years ago. It was incredibly exciting to watch him at work and to be in the presence of his deeply profound intelligence and earthy wit.

“He was so much fun. I’m really going to miss him. I had so much respect for his many talents and his generosity of spirit. We’ve lost one of our great treasures.”

Coltrane’s cause of death has not been released.
