Chris Colfer has opened up about the “nightmare” of losing his friend and co-star Naya Rivera.<\/p>\n
The Glee star penned a touching tribute to the late actress, who tragically passed away earlier this month after drowning in a lake.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old\u2019s body was found in Lake Piru last Monday, five days after she went missing during a boating trip with her four-year-old son Josey.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m not sure anyone on Earth could give\u00a0Naya Rivera\u00a0the tribute she deserves,” Chris wrote in an emotional article for Variety.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“In fact, the process of losing her has been such a nightmare, I find myself wondering if Naya was even real or if she was just a dream all along.”<\/p>\n
“How could a human being be\u00a0that\u00a0<\/em>talented,\u00a0that\u00a0<\/em>hilarious and\u00a0that\u00a0<\/em>beautiful at once? How could one person be responsible for so much joy and be the subject of so many wonderful memories?”<\/p>\n “When Naya sang, you could feel her soul resonating through your own. Her voice would break your heart in one chorus, only to rebuild it in the next. Watching her perform was like watching magic unfold before your eyes.”<\/p>\n “Naya didn\u2019t just sing a song,” he added, “She brought it to life. And with every note, she exposed the old sage living inside her young body.”<\/p>\n
