Following news of her longtime friend’s death on Wednesday, the actress turned singer posted an emotional tribute to Trachtenberg, who worked with her on the hit series Gossip Girl. 

‘In shock…When I met this girl 17 years ago I knew we’d be friends.. she was smart and sᴀssy, bold and sensitive, funny as f**k and filled with fire. She was simply awesome,’ the Spy School actress wrote next to a carousel of pH๏τos.

‘I’ll miss our late night calls that no one should ever hear but us. She was always in my corner and there to support me whether I was right or wrong. I will miss you everyday my love.. I think we truly understood each other and I am so grateful to have had a friend like you in my life for so long.’

Continuing her tribute, she wrote of Trachtenberg, ‘You were a true friend to me which is a rarity in this world and I can’t believe I won’t hear your voice again..’

‘I love you so much Michelle, my heart is on the floor. I’m still in shock but I needed to honor her, she deserves more than this.’

‘I grieve with all her fans around the world, and my heart is with her family and loved ones. I have so much to say, but she’s the only one I’d want to say it to, my love to you all xxt.’
