Chelsea Handler Pays Tribute to Sidekick Chuy Bravo After His Death

Chelsea Handler is speaking out to pay tribute to her late sidekick Chuy Bravo, who passed away over the weekend.

No details about Chuy‘s death have been revealed yet, but he reportedly died “suddenly” on Saturday night (December 14) while in Mexico City.

“I loved this nugget in a big way, and I took great pleasure in how many people loved him as much as I did and do. @chuybravo gave us so much laughter and I’ll never forget the sound of his laughter coming from his office into mine. Or his ‘business calls’ with his ‘business manager,’ or his shoe rack with all his children-sized shoes,” Chelsea wrote on Instagram.

Chelsea also told a story about what happened when Chuy came to visit her family for Christmas one year.

“I’ll never forget him coming to Christmas with my family one year in the Florida keys, and when my niece who was 5 or 6 at the time—saw him, she ran in the other direction saying she was scared,” she said. “My sister and I were mortified and were apologizing to Chuy, who told us, ‘it’s ok, lots of little kids get scared when they see big kids coming their way.’ I love you, Chuy!
