Sarah Michelle Gellar has likened the loss of Michelle Trachtenberg to the loss of a sister.
On Thursday, Gellar paid tribute to her “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” co-star with a poignant line from their hit TV series, in which the two played siblings.
Trachtenberg — who was best known for her roles in “Buffy” as well as “Gossip Girl,” “Harriet the Spy” and “Ice Princess” — was found dead in her New York City apartment on Wednesday. She was 39.
“‘Michelle, listen to me. Listen. I love you,’” Gellar wrote in a post shared to her Instagram account alongside a slideshow of photos of the two throughout the years. “‘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’ 💔💔💔🗝️”
Gellar’s quote is a reference to a pivotal scene in the Season 5 finale of “Buffy.”
