United Kingdom, Jan. 31 -- Seth Rogen felt inspired by Catherine O'Hara during his younger years.

The 43-year-old film star has taken to social media to pay a heartfelt tribute to the Home Alone actress, who has died aged 71.

Seth - who worked with Catherine on The Studio, his acclaimed TV comedy - wrote on Instagram: "Really don't know what to say. I told O'Hara when I first met her I thought she was the funniest person I'd ever had the pleasure of watching on screen. Home Alone was the movie that made me want to make movies. Getting to work with her was a true honour. She was hysterical, kind, intuitive, generous. she made me want to make our show good enough to be worthy of her presence in it. This is just devastating. We're all luck...
