While many people continue to grieve and share condolences across social media, Kilmer was not shy to express his true feelings, turning the conversation on his own anger with Bourdain's death.

The long Facebook post was published only hours after Bourdain's death was confirmed on Friday and has over 1,700 comments. Kilmer took the time to reply to many of the comments on the post, including those that criticized his views.
