"They weren't just our parents; they were our best friends," the statement continued.
"We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life.
"We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave."
Jake, 34, and Romy, 28, did not mention their brother Nick, 32, in the statement.

On Tuesday Nick was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, accused of fatally stabbing their parents, who were killed in Los Angeles on Sunday December 14, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.
Romy was reportedly the one who found the body of her film icon dad, stumbling upon the crime scene when she went to check on her parents after a massage therapist didn't get a response from them at the gate, the New York Times reported.
She was the one who called 911, who also found Michele's body when they arrived.
Nick was arrested several hours after his parents were found dead in their home in the upscale Brentwood neighbourhood of Los Angeles on Sunday, police said.
Investigators believe Rob and Michele Singer Reiner died from stab wounds, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
