Candace Cameron Bure remembers Bob Saget as 'kind, loving, amazing'
Actress Candace Cameron Bure joins 'Fox & Friends' to honor her 'Full House' co-star and friend Bob Saget and discusses her upcoming film 'Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Haunted by Murder.'
A judge has granted a temporary restraining order at the request of Bob Saget's family to block the release of any photos, video or other records related to the investigation into the late "Full House" star's hotel room pending a final hearing.
The news was confirmed to Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
"This morning the judge granted our emergency motion for a temporary injunction blocking the release of the photographs, videos, audio, and the materials related to Mr. Saget's death," Brian Bieber, the Saget family's attorney said.
Bieber appeared on behalf of Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, and daughters Aubrey, Jennifer and Lara Saget at a hearing on Wednesday morning. The judge signed a proposed order in open court. The plaintiffs agreed to file a $1,000 bond.
The family filed a lawsuit Tuesday attempting to block officials from releasing further information regarding the comedian's cause of death "in order to protect" their "privacy," one of the family's attorneys said.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Orange County and obtained by Fox News Digital, names Orange County Sheriff John Mina and the District Nine Medical Examiner’s Office.
"In order to protect the Saget family’s privacy, today on their behalf, I filed for an injunction to prevent the disclosure of any photographs or videos of Mr. Saget made by the authorities during their investigation," Bieber told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
"The facts of the investigation should be made public, but these materials should remain private out of respect for the dignity of Mr. Saget and his family," the statement continued. "It’s very simple — from a human and legal standpoint — the Saget family’s privacy rights outweigh any public interest in disclosure of this sensitive information."
The "sensitive information" includes photographs, as well as video and audio recordings, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Saget's widow and his three daughters, said the release of this information would cause "irreparable harm in the form of extreme mental pain, anguish and emotional distress" to the family.
The beloved TV dad was found dead in his hotel room in Orlando, Florida, Jan. 9. He was 65.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department confirmed Saget's death on social media, saying it found no signs of foul play or drug use.
His autopsy report was subsequently released to the media and revealed the comedian had suffered multiple fractures prior to his death. The Orange County Medical Examiner's office concluded that Saget had likely hit the "posterior aspect of his head" in an unwitnessed fall.

"A toxicology analysis did not reveal any illicit drugs or toxins. The manner of death is accident," Orange County Medical Examiner's office told Fox News Digital. "Our condolences go out to Mr. Saget’s loved ones during this difficult time."
