'Glee' Stars & Celebrities React to Naya Rivera's Death
Stars are paying tribute to Naya Rivera after it was confirmed that she has indeed died after a swimming accident during a trip to Lake Piru, in California last week.
The news broke last week that the 33-year-old actress had went on a trip to the lake destination with her four-year-old son Josey Dorsey, where they rented a boat.
Then, after a swimming excursion, Josey told authorities that Naya didn’t return after she went for a swim.
A search has been ongoing, and unfortunately, Naya was presumed dead by Thursday (July 9).
Our continued thoughts are with Naya‘s friends, family, and loved ones during this difficult time.
Many of Naya‘s Glee co-stars and other celebrities have started to react to the news of her passing.
Rest sweet, Naya. What a force you were. Love and peace to your family.

Been overwhelmed by the news lately. So many people dying, divorces, break ups, illnesses, hatred… just take some time today to call the ones you love and remind them how much they mean to you. Send a prayer up for those in pain. And remember that you are loved!

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Naya Rivera.
The talent and depth Naya brought to her characters inspired millions. As a Latina, it‘s rare to have rich, complex characters reflect us in media. Naya worked hard to give that gift to so many.
Que descanse en paz.

It feels strange to cry and mourn the loss of someone you never knew. But I grew up watching Glee- and Naya Rivera was such a beautiful talent. My heart breaks for her son.
