Michael Mann, Francis Ford Coppola, Nicolas Cage, Jim Carrey and Josh Brolin were among the many entertainment industry figures who paid tribute to Val Kilmer after news of his death was announced.

"Val will be greatly missed, but his legacy will live on forever in the films and performances he so brilliantly shared with us," Michael Douglas wrote in his tribute to Val Kilmer.

"Top Gun" star Val Kilmer was remembered as "extraordinary" by his family, who said they were "so proud" of him. Kilmer died Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Kilmer’s breakout role came as LT Tom “Iceman” Kazansky opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun (1986). That was followed by the fantasy film Willow (1988). His big break as a leading man came with his swaying, leather-clad portrayal of Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s The Doors.

When remembering Val Kilmer, who died Tuesday at the age of 65, director Oliver Stone reflects on the enigmatic actor's "contradictory" nature.

Actor Josh Brolin and director Michael Mann are among those honoring actor Val Kilmer after his death on Tuesday at age 65.

The “Top Gun” actor, who died in Los Angeles on Tuesday of pneumonia, is survived by two children: daughter Mercedes, 33, and son Jack, 32.

"I'm remembering Val Kilmer today with great admiration for him as a man and as a generational talent who left us an enviable legacy of indelible acting performances," Carrey said
