We all know Kirk was pretty much the poster boy for all things the Klingons hated about the FEDERATION! So how do you think the KLINGONS reacted hearing of there ''GREATEST'' enemy being taken out by a energy ribbon?
How did Klingons react to Kirk's death?

The Klingons thought very highly of Kirk as an adversary. Worf said as much IIRC.
I think they all admired Kirk and probably did the Klingon Death Howl in his honor.
Kor, Kang, and Chang all seemed to respect Kirk despite the fact that he was their adversary.
And 24th century Klingons apparently considered him one of the greatest warriors, going by what Worf and others have said about him.
He truly kicked ass in his time. And, yes, his death sucked.

They had a party.
Like they say, He came, He saw, He KICKED-ASS!
(Then died in a rather stupid death)
Really? I had no idea.
As for the Klingons: I wouldn't expect them to mourn Kirk's death, really. Their own ambassador said "There shall be no peace, as long as Kirk lives!" and, in the same scene, called Kirk a renegade and a terrorist. They were probably glad Kirk died, and I doubt they cared how.
For his "death" I figure there'd be mixed feelings privately (sad to lose a great warrior, happy to not have to face him). Publicly, they'd act sad, though, since they would now be at peace (peace that Kirk helped bring about).
For his actual death, I figure they'd be a bit more sad, since it would be 100 years after anyone hated him. Although I expect most would be indifferent since they had already thought he had died.

What did Worf say, specifically? And where?
I'm sure there's another reference, an episode with the late, great John Colicos' Kor in it. But offhand there's his "It would be an honor to meet him" line from Trials and Tribbleations.
How do I think they reacted? Probably wrote a 10 hour opera, that thankfully we've never been forced to sit through...
I'm actually a little curious now if his second death would have been made public. The nature of the incident seems like something that could easily have been classified. Besides, it would be a really weird thing to issue as a press release.
I imagine they thought he died an honorable death protecting his shipmates. I doubt the Nexus thing was released... but I'm not Trek expert.
^I'm willing to bet, that the temporal police know about the ''nexus'' incident!
"This just in... Captain James T. Kirk is still dead!"
I wonder how many people here are old enough to get that.
