In the wake of Trachtenberg’s sudden February 26th death at age 39, Gellar took to social media to pay tribute to the actress.

Sharing pH๏τos of the two and a quote from Buffy — the show they starred on together in the late 90s and early 00s — she wrote in the caption, ‘“Michelle, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you. The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it. I will be brave. I will live… for you,”’ adding a string of broken heart emoji.

Michelle’s family are keeping funeral details private, according to a source who spoke with Parade.

‘The family is keeping quiet about all the arrangements. Including her closest friends,’ the insider shared with the outlet.

Trachtenberg was found ᴅᴇᴀᴅ in her New York City apartment in late February, and a cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
