William Shatner announced via Twitter he will not be able to attend the funeral of his longtime friend and Star Trek co-star Leonard Nimoy.
"I am currently in FL as I agreed to appear at the Red Cross Ball tonight. Leonard's funeral is tomorrow. I can't make it back in time," Shatner tweeted Saturday.
"I feel really awful. Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried," he said. "So let's spend some time tomorrow celebrating Leonard's life and remembering the man."
Nimoy died Friday of end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in his Bel-Air home. The actor, artist and philanthropist was 83.
"I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love," Shatner tweeted after hearing the news Friday.
