On Thursday, the acclaimed and beloved actor Alan Rickman died after a battle with cancer at the age of 69.

As soon as the news broke, people immediately began expressing their sorrow over the loss of such a talented and dynamic person.

Whether people knew him personally or simply enjoyed his powerful presence on the stage and screen, Rickman enriched countless lives in immeasurable ways.

It's clear he was much more than just a good actor. He was also a tremendous human being who cared deeply about the world.

Rickman's good-hearted nature was particularly evident in one of his final recordings, which urged people to help refugees. It's featured in a video that generates donations for Save the Children and Refugee Council.

The world is currently witnessing a global refugee crisis, the likes of which hasn't been seen since World War II. Accordingly, Rickman's message couldn't have come at a better time.

Rest in peace, Alan Rickman. You will be greatly missed.
