Neal Brennan, who co-created and co-wrote for “The Chappelle Show,” took to Instagram as well after Murphy passed away. He wrote, “First stuff I ever officially directed were the Rick James and Prince stories. Dude [Murphy] changed my life. One of the most unique people I’ve ever met. So funny. So weird… Unforgettable dude. Really sad…”

In a statement to E! News, Murphy’s family wrote, “Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our son, brother, father, uncle and friend Charlie.

“Charlie filled our family with love and laughter and there won’t be a day that goes by that his presence will not be missed. Thank you for the outpouring of condolences and prayers. We respectfully ask for privacy during this time of great loss for all of us.”
