Meanwhile, Jane Lynch, portraying Sue Sylvester on Twitter, wrote, "Rest sweet, Naya. What a force you were. Love and peace to your family."

Glee actor Chris Colfer, playing Kurt Hummel, preferred to post a throwback photo of him together with Rivera on Instagram.

He wrote on the caption, "How can you convey all your love and respect for someone in one post? How can you summarize a decade of friendship and laughter with words alone? If you were friends with Naya Rivera, you simply can't. Her brilliance and humor were unmatched. Her beauty and talent were otherworldly. Being close to her was both a badge of honor and a suit of armor. Naya was truly one of a kind, and she always will be."

Tamera Mowry-Housley, one of the hosts of daytime talk show The Real, and a close friend to Naya grieved on Instagram.

She said, "My sweet Naya. I love you. Will always love you. I'll never forget your sweet smile, your amazing voice, and your warmth and love that has always welcomed me."

Housley added, "I knew as early as 9 years old you were going to grace us with so much talent and so much beauty. I'm so grateful to have been blessed with your presence for over 20 years. You took my breath away and always will. Another angel has gained her wings. My heart goes out to the Rivera family."

TV shows are expected to give tribute to the Glee star.

According to Robert Inglis from the Ventura County Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue Team, their investigation showed that the pontoon was very lightweight, and during that time, the winds were stronger, but these were insights.
