Dick Clark, the producer and host of "American Bandstand" and "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," passed away on Wednesday of a massive heart attack following a medical procedure at Saint John's Health Center. As the nation mourns the loss of one of it's best presenters, friends and admirers alike are taking to Twitter to express their sorrow and thank him for his legacy.

Ryan Seacrest, who has co-hosted "Rockin' Eve" with Clark for the last six years, tweeted, "I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend Dick Clark. He has truly been one of the greatest influences in my life." Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City, where "Rockin' Eve" takes place, wrote, "Dick Clark's spirit will always live on in Times Square & the hearts of millions of New Yorkers."

Larry King wrote, "Dick Clark was a great friend, true legend, & a master journalist. Nobody did what he did better. It was a pleasure to be in his company," and Katie Couric called him "America's Oldest Teenager." The New York Daily News has a few more. Which celebrity do you think had the most heartfelt response to Dick Clark's death?

Ryan's response is just touching and genuine. Not saying the others aren't, but for some reason Seacrest's response brings a tear to the eye.

Seacrest's tribute was warm, touching and heartfelt - You got the sense of mutual respect existing between them and Clark being not only a mentor, but indeed - his true north.

Not from a celebrity, but from my mom..."I miss him already. He made rock and roll seem a little less scary to my father, so I was allowed to watch his show. New Years Eve hasn't been the same without him. I miss him already."

Awwwwiiiieeeeeeee!! Just by what she said, anyone can tell that woman has a heart of gold. My mom actually cried. I guess us youngins don't quite understand who he was to the oldies. But if to them he was our Eddie Guererro, Aaliyah M.J or Whitney, then I completely & absolutely understand!!

Ryan Seacrest has always shown the upmost respect for Dick Clark when others were tearing Clark apart for appearing on is OWN SHOW after his stroke. I feel Seacrest is truly saddened by the loss of his mentor and friend.

Although all the responses I read and/or heard on Dick 'Richard Wagstaff' Clark's passing were sincere and very kind. I believe Ryan Seacrest's response, and Tweet, were moving and genuinely heartfelt. RIP Dick

I don't know about anyone else, but I found it hard to read some of the things that were written by these celebrities. I made it though, but very teary-eyed. RIP, Mr. Clark.

Isaac Hanson had these very nice words to say on Twitter:

Dick Clark was a Rock 'n' Roll Radio/TV icon with an influence on pop culture for more than 50 years. Rest in peace. Personal Note: Dick Clark produced a TV special for us back in 1997. I am very proud of the acoustic performance from that show.
