Dianna Agron has paid tribute to her co-star Naya Rivera with a Glee throwback.
The actress, who played Santana Lopez in the musical series, was declared dead, aged 33, on 13 July after she had gone missing on a boating trip with her four-year-old son, Josey.
Her body was found on Lake Piru, California, five days after her disappearance, which happened to fall on the 7th anniversary of her co-star Cory Monteith’s death.
And while Dianna, who starred as Santana’s BFF Quinn Fabray, paid her respects on the day Naya was found, she has taken to Instagram once again to remember her late friend.
Alongside a black and white picture of the duo sat in the Glee’s iconic auditorium, next to Heather Morris’s Brittany S Pierce, the actress penned: ‘Another favourite of mine.’
The 34-year-old had previously written: ‘Naya and I fell into stride with such ease, she was my first friend and ally on our show.
‘In the pilot, our characters came and went with such swiftness. Our enthusiasm brimmed with all of the unknown.
‘We tried to grasp what the other cast members must be feeling as we were working in such separate manners. We dared to dream.’
She pressed: ‘What if this show worked? Wouldn’t that be something? Something was brimming, it was palpable. And thank god it worked. Naya’s magnetic talent was going to be unleashed, we just didn’t know it yet.
‘I’ve been revisiting Naya’s performances on our show and it has brought me great joy. To work with her was a gift. There was a great deal to absorb – her work ethic, her fearlessness, her talent – supreme.
‘Naya had a laugh that would envelop you and hold you captive. She was mesmerising. That twinkle in her eye, her luminous smile. Naya lead with truth, humour, wit. I loved her for all of these reasons.’
Dianna added: ‘I cannot make sense of this tremendous loss. I will hold onto her and these memories for the rest of time, alongside our Glee family. Please hold space for her, her family, her beautiful boy.
‘In absolute, loving memory.’
Amber Riley, Kevin McHale, Lea Michele and Darren Criss who also starred alongside Naya have since honoured the late star.
