Amber Riley appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night to pay tribute to her late friend Naya Rivera through song. Riley starred as Mercedes on Glee alongside Rivera. She took the stage and gave an emotional performance of a song called "A Moment" with a montage of images of Rivera on screen behind her.
Guest host Lil Rel Howery thanked the show for allowing he and Riley to honor their late friend:
"Not too long ago we both lost a really amazing friend in a tragic accident and we both will miss her forever. I really want to thank the show for really letting us do this. She's here to perform a tribute to our good friend Naya Rivera."
Rivera drowned while boating along with her 4-year old son in July. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Glee creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian Brennan are in the process of creating a college fund for Naya's son Josey.
