Tributes have flooded in for celebrated filmmaker David Lynch after his death at the age of 76.
The passing of the American filmmaker, writer and artist who scored best director Oscar nominations for Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man and Mulholland Drive and co-created the groundbreaking TV series Twin Peaks, was announced by his family on Thursday.
It came five months after Lynch revealed he had been diagnosed with emphysema, a chronic lung disease, after âmany years of smokingâ.
"It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch," a statement on his Facebook page said.
"Thereâs a big hole in the world now that heâs no longer with us. But, as he would say, 'Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.' It's a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way."
British actress Naomi Watts said âmy heart is brokenâ following the death of her Mulholland Drive director.
The US filmmaker, whose work included surrealist TV series Twin Peaks and films such as The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet, died on Thursday at the age of 78.
Mulholland Drive star Watts said Lynch âput me on the mapâ with her 2001 break-out film about the dark side of Hollywood, which earned him the award for best director at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival alongside an Oscar nod.
âMy heart is broken. My Buddy Dave... The world will not be the same without him,â Watts wrote on Instagram.
âHis creative mentorship was truly powerful. He put me on the map. The world Iâd been trying to break into for 10-plus years, flunking auditions left and right.
âFinally, I sat in front of a curious man, beaming with light, speaking words from another era, making me laugh and feel at ease.
âHow did he even âsee meâ when I was so well hidden, and Iâd even lost sight of myself?!
âIt wasnât just his art that impacted me - his wisdom, humour, and love gave me a special sense of belief in myself Iâd never accessed before.â
Watts said Lynch âseemed to live in an altered world, one that I feel beyond lucky to have been a small part ofâ as she revealed she was âin piecesâ over his death.
â...David invited all to glimpse into that world through his exquisite storytelling, which elevated cinema and inspired generations of filmmakers across the globe.
âI just cannot believe that heâs gone. Iâm in pieces but forever grateful for our friendship.â
She signed off the post as âbuttercupâ, adding: âThank you for your everything.â
Two-time Oscar nominee Watts later featured in Lynchâs film Inland Empire as Suzie Rabbit, a role she played in his 2002 project Rabbits, as well as the revival of his hit series Twin Peaks, starring as Janey-E Jones in 2017.
Original Twin Peaks star Lara Flynn Boyle, who played Donna Hayward in the early 1990s series, said âthere goes the true Willy Wonka of filmmakingâ in a statement.
âI feel like I got the golden ticket getting a chance to work with him. He will be greatly missed,â she added.

Steven Spielberg remembered the director as one of his heroes. In a statement to Variety, Spielberg said: âI loved Davidâs films. Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive and Elephant Man defined him as a singular, visionary dreamer who directed films that felt handmade.
âI got to know David when he played John Ford in The Fabelmans. Here was one of my heroesâDavid Lynch playing one of my heroes. It was surreal and seemed like a scene out of one of Davidâs own movies. The world is going to miss such an original and unique voice. His films have already stood the test of time and they always will.â
Happy Days icon and director Ron Howard wrote: â#RIPDavidLynch, a gracious man and fearless artist who followed his heart & soul and proved that radical experimentation could yield unforgettable cinema.â
DC Studios boss James Gunn said âRIP David Lynch. You inspired so many of us.â
Born in Missoula, Montana, Lynch first began a career in painting before switching to making short films during the 1960s.
The director's films were known for their dreamlike, surrealist quality.
His breakthrough in the 1970s with the surreal Eraserhead and he rarely failed to startle and inspire audiences and peers in the following decades.
His notable releases ranged from the neo-noir Mulholland Drive - a non-linear tale showing the dark side of Hollywood which earned him the best director award at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival- to the skewed Gothic of Blue Velvet to the eclectic and eccentric Twin Peaks.
His other credits included the crime story Wild at Heart, winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes and the biographical drama The Elephant Man.
His other directing credits included him becoming the first director to adapt Frank Herbert novel Dune in 1984, 1997's Lost Highway, 1999's The Straight Story and 2006's Inland Empire.

Last summer, Lynch had revealed to Sight and Sound that he was diagnosed with emphysema and would not be leaving his home because of fears of contracting the coronavirus or "even a cold."
"I've gotten emphysema from smoking for so long and so I'm homebound whether I like it or not," Lynch said, adding he didn't expect to make another film.
"I would try to do it remotely, if it comes to it," Lynch said. "I wouldn't like that so much."
Lynch moved around often with his family as a child and would long feel most at home away from the classroom, free to explore his fascination with the world.
He had an early gift for visual arts and a passion for travel and discovery that led to his enrollment in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the beginning of a decade-long apprenticeship as a maker of short movies.
"David's always had a cheerful disposition and sunny personality, but he's always been attracted to dark things," a childhood friend is quoted as saying in "Room to Dream," a 2018 book by Lynch and Kristine McKenna. That's one of the mysteries of David."
