As soon as reports of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi's death came in, Bollywood poured in their reactions on twitter.

Farhan Akhtar thinks the world is losing humanity. 'No matter how wrong I thought Gaddafi may have been, no matter how big a villain he may have been to his own people, no matter how big a threat he may have been to the region and to the world... my conscience does not allow me to celebrate his brutal death. There is no victory in those images. Just the tragic loss of all humanity. The concept of justice is now only a concept,' he tweeted.

Randeep Hooda tweeted: 'RIP Gaddafi. great leader. one of the last people2 stand up against the American policing. all those rejoicing pray that they don't do it 2 u!!'

Shekhar Kapur wrote: 'Y did the west embrace Gaddafi for decades n now call him d worst dictator ever? No morality in politics of oil'

Roshan Abbas wrote: 'Gaddafi dies in a drain, and the world declares Oil's well that ends well!!'

Fardeen Khan feels that the world is a better place without him. 'Irrespective, the world is a better place without M. Gaddafi,' he tweeted.
