Naya Rivera, a singer and actor who played a gay cheerleader on the hit TV musical comedy Glee, was found dead Monday in a Southern California lake. She was 33.
Rivera's body was discovered five days after she disappeared on Lake Piru, where her son, Josey, was found July 8 alone on a boat the two had rented, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office said. The Sheriff's Office confirmed that the body was Rivera's.
"Rest sweet, Naya. What a force you were," wrote Glee co-star Jane Lynch on Twitter. Steven Canals, who co-created and produced the FX television show Pose, tweeted that he was "heartbroken over all the stories that will remain untold."
Rest sweet, Naya. What a force you were. Love and peace to your family.Viola Davis sent her prayers to Rivera's family and Kristin Chenoweth said: "Thank you for what you gave the world." Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that "as a Latina, it's rare to have a rich, complex characters reflect us in media."

A native of Santa Clarita, California, Rivera began acting at 4, appearing in such series as "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," "Family Matters" and "The Bernie Mac Show." As a teen, she struggled with an eating disorder and had breast implants put in at 18 ("a confidence thing, not a sexual thing," she would later write in her autobiography).My heart is heavy with the loss of Naya Rivera. She was a mother, daughter, sister, friend, and inspiration too many. My thoughts and prayers go out to her son, family and friends. Rest in peace beautiful ?? . Mi corazón está pesado con la pérdida de Naya Rivera. Ella era madre, hija, hermana, amiga y inspiración para muchos. Mis pensamientos y oraciones están con su hijo, familia y amigos. Descansa en paz hermosa ??View this post on Instagram

She worked odd jobs as a telemarketer, a nanny, a waitress and an Abercrombie & Fitch greeter before landing the role of Santana Lopez on Ryan Murphy's "Glee." She auditioned by singing "Emotion." The pilot offered her no speaking lines.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. She spoke truth to power with poise and fearlessness. She could turn a bad day into a great day with a single remark. She inspired and uplifted people without even trying. 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. ?? Sending all my love to her wonderful family and her beautiful son.View this post on Instagram

Some of her more memorable songs on the show include a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" with guest star Gwyneth Paltrow, "Here Comes the Sun" with Demi Lovato, and a tearful cover of The Band Perry's "If I Die Young."My sweet Naya - to say that I am devastated would be an understatement. This is a nightmare. Everyday gets harder. However, I am holding onto hope that you will be found. ? ? We grew up together. We became adults together. We experienced so many firsts together. You were my first experience with everything; love, intimacy, heartbreak. We broke each others hearts and then mended them back together...more than once. I will never not think of you. No woman has ever measured up what you gave me or how you made me feel. I've never liked to admit it but I have never stopped loving you. A part of me always wished for the day where God would bring us back together to be what we dreamt we could have been. ? ? I pray deeply for the Rivera family and that God blankets them with strength, peace, and love right now. Mychal and Nickayla - you will always be like younger siblings to me and I love you dearly. I watched you two grow up into beautiful adults. George and Yolanda - whatever you need I am here for you. We are forever family and I love you. ? ? I ask everyone reading this to please lift up, along with the entire Rivera family, Ryan and Josey in prayer and to respect what they are going through during this time. I pray that God showers the entire family with strength and peace that only He can give. ? ? I still have faith. I still have hope. Let's please all pray that she is found and brought home safely. ? ? Naya, I miss you deeply. I wish I got the chance to tell you that once more but I'm believing I will get that chance. I know deep down you've always known how I felt. I look forward to the day where I can see your beautiful face once more and tell you everything I've wanted to say that I didn't get the chance to say. I love you forever. I always have and I always will. ? ? ??View this post on Instagram

In the preface to her autobiography, Rivera wrote that motherhood had changed her life and given it perspective. She said she was braver, too.She was bold. She was outrageous. She was a LOT of fun.? ? Naya made me laugh like no one else on that set. I always said it while we were working together and I've maintained it ever since. Her playful, wicked sense of humor never ceased to bring a smile to my face.? ? She played by her own rules and was in a class of her own. She had a brashness about her that I couldn't help but be enchanted by. I also always loved her voice, and savored every chance I got to hear her sing. I think she had more talent than we would have ever been able to see.? ? I was constantly moved by the degree to which she took care of her family, and how she looked out for her friends. She showed up for me on numerous occasions where she didn't have to, and I was always so grateful for her friendship then, as I certainly am now.? ? And even as I sit here, struggling to comprehend, gutted beyond description- the very thought of her cracks me up and still brings a smile to my face. That was Naya's gift. And it's a gift that will never go away. ? ? Rest in peace you wild, hilarious, beautiful angel.View this post on Instagram
