Ellen DeGeneres is mourning the death of her longtime talk show producer, Matthew Wright.

Wright, 52, died October 30 in what is described on GoFundMe as an “unfathomable tragedy” while working remotely in Los Angeles. He worked on Ellen for 16 years, until the daytime talk show’s 2022 conclusion.

Further details weren’t immediately available.

“So Matt Wright, who was our executive producer and was featured on our show a lot, died the other day,” a teary-eyed DeGeneres began in an Instagram video posted Monday.

“And he was an amazing guy,” she continued, growing emotional. “He was funny. God, he made me laugh. He would surprise me with things that he did all the time. He was smart. He was kind. He was the part of our show that — I mean, everyone loved him.
