Can anyone help me with phrases expressing sympathy, with regard to the death of a friend/family member?

Along the lines of: My deepest sympathies for the family and friends of so-and-so, My heartfelt condolences for the friends and family of so-and-so, I'm very sorry for your loss, etc. etc.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm pretty good with basic Russian, just completely unaware of any idioms, colloquial phrases/usage of verbs, etc. when it comes to this topic. Thanks!

Примите мои глубочайшие соболезнования
Это тяжёлая утрата
Я сочувствую вашему горю
