Unfortunately, the world woke up to the news of her death, which was confirmed by People, on February 14.

People also reported that her "Sex and The City" co-stars like Sarah Jessica Parker took to social media to pay their tributes to the late actress, soon after the announcement of her death.

While Sarah referred to Lynn as "Miranda's dear and c necessary Magda," Kim Cattrall called her "our beautiful #lynncohen." Cynthia Nixon's post, which was a bit lengthier, stated in parts:

"To me she was that and so much more—an involved citizen, a true friend, and a great actress in so many different roles."
