Patrice O'Neal: Stars pay tribute on Twitter

(CBS) Celebrities are using their Twitter accounts to pay tribute to Patrice O'Neal, who died Monday at the age of 41.

The actor, comedian and radio personality had battled diabetes and suffered a stroke last month.

Here's what some stars had to say about O'Neal:
