Rob Reiner’s son, Nick, 32, has been charged with the murder of his parents, who were tragically found stabbed to death at their home in Los Angeles on Sunday

Saturday Night Live star, Bill Hader, looked stressed as he was seen for the first time since his ‘tense chat’ with Nick Reiner just hours before Rob Reiner and his wife were found stabbed to death.

In news which has left the whole of Hollywood reeling, Nick Reiner, 32, has been charged with the murder of his dad, 78, and mum, Michelle, 68, who were found stabbed to death by their daughter, Romy, 28, at their home in Los Angeles on Sunday. Before the tragedy, the Reiner family had been at a party at Conan O’Brien’s house, where comedian Bill, 47, is said to have been seen having a ‘disagreement’ with filmmaker, Nick.

In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, Bill is seen wearing a black tracksuit and striped sliders. He looked strained while pacing back and forth during a phone call in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

A source told the publication that the SNL star ‘is horrified’ and ‘extremely sad’ over the heartbreaking murders of Rob and his wife Michele and ‘doesn’t want to be connected to this story’. They said: “Bill doesn’t want this tragedy to be made about him, and any disagreement he may have had with Nick, Bill is refusing to talk about it.”

Hours before the tragedy, Nick allegedly ‘stormed off’ from TV host Conan’s Christmas party on Saturday after getting into a tense chat with Bill. “Bill, like everyone who saw Rob and Michele at the party, is horrified over what happened and is extremely sad that what went down, actually went down,” the source said.

They added: “With total respect for Rob and Michele and their family, Bill is not going to talk about his interaction with Nick publicly.”

The insider concluded that Bill “doesn’t want to be connected to this story over a few minute interaction at a party that was meant to be fun and festive”.

Before the gruesome murders, the Reiner family had been at a party at Conan’s house, with Rob reportedly asking the TV host if Nick could come so he could ‘keep an eye on him’. At the party, sources said, the director’s youngest son “exhibited antisocial behaviour,” such as staring at people.

When Harry Met Sally star, Rob, reportedly had a ‘very loud argument’ with Nick at the party – with witnesses claiming Nick, who has a history of substance abuse, was acting erratically at the festive bash, according to TMZ.

A source then claimed to NBC News that Nick ‘interrupted Hader’ at the party and was allegedly left annoyed when the comic told him he was ‘in the middle of a private conversation’. The source claimed after Hader’s alleged comment: “Nick just stood there and stared before storming off.”

Tragically, just hours later, Rob and Michele were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home on Sunday, Dec. 14, their bodies allegedly found by their daughter, Romy – with the LA Fire Department called to the gruesome scene at around 3.30pm local time, to provide medical aid.

Shortly after the tragic news broke, son Nick was arrested 15 miles away from the family home and was pictured, surrounded by police.

He was later charged with the murder of his parents and could face the death penalty if found guilty.
