Chord Overstreet, Melissa Benoist & Jacob Artist Remember Naya Rivera In Touching Tributes

Three more of Naya Rivera‘s Glee co-stars have spoken out with tributes after she died in a drowning accident last week.

Chord Overstreet spoke highly of his time with Naya on his Instagram page, alongside a stunning image of the late actress.

“I still remember the day I met you,” he writes. “You walked straight up to me, grabbed me by the face and drug me around until I met every single person on set, introducing me as ‘new booty’. You were one of the first people who made me feel like family when others saw me as an outsider. I didn’t know then that you would become my family and that’s just who you were to everyone.. A Mother, Sister, Daughter and most of all a friend. Your massive heart and bright spark is what carried our entire show, when at times we all felt like giving up.”

Chord continued, “You always showed up for me when I needed some wisdom or was down and just needed someone to talk to. You took care of everyone around you in a way that was so warm and comforting and you sure knew how to throw a hell of a party! I always admired your bravery and passion to fight for what’s right even when it seemed like you were up against the world. Your spirit is contagious and you continue to make everyone you have touched a better and stronger person by knowing you.”

“My favorite part of glee was getting to watch you perform and shine up close every day. You really were the pulse of that show. Anyone who was blessed enough to see and experience your raw talent knows it to be true. You’re one of the smartest and most gifted people I have ever met. There is no one like you and there never will be.”

Chord added, “You have changed peoples lives all around the world and you continue to change mine forever. I will never forget your love and kindness. Thank you for sharing your spirit Angel. I will miss you always. I Love you Naya.”
