Fans also sent out positive thoughts over the news. Taking the opportunity to share how much Naya‘s portrayal as Santana Lopez on the show helped them learn about acceptance and who they are. “Dude I’m not even kidding Santana Lopez’s story arc on glee was a huge reason and inspiration coming out, Naya Rivera portrayed that so beautifully and she’s always been an ally to the LGBTQIA community and an inspiration, praying they find her alive and for her baby son,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

Naya Rivera went missing and was presumed dead during a boating trip with her son, as reported by Daily Mail. The actress was declared missing by the police department after her four-year-old son, Josey Hollis, was found alone on a boat in Lake Piru, California. Josey told authorities that she “went into the water and never came back up.” Hours have passed since the incident and there is still no news on her, but the search continues.
