Sarah Michelle Gellar, Taylor Momsen and Blake Lively are among those paying tribute to Michelle Trachtenberg, who died Wednesday. Trachtenberg was found in her New York apartment โunconscious and unresponsive,โ according to an NYPD statement. She was 39.
โMichelle, listen to me. Listen. I love you. I will always love you. The hardest thing in this world, is to live in it. I will be brave. I will liveโฆ for you.โ โ โBuffy the Vampire Slayer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar via Instagram.
โEverything she did, she did 200%. She laughed the fullest at someoneโs joke, she faced authority head on when she felt something was wrong, she cared deeply about her work, she was proud to be a part of this community and industry as painful as it could be sometimes, she was fiercely loyal to her friends and brave for those she loved, she was big and bold and distinctly herself.โ โ Blake Lively, Trachtenberg's โGossip Girl" co-star, on Instagram.

โShe was simply awesome. Iโll miss our late night calls that no one should ever hear but us. She was always in my corner and there to support me whether I was right or wrong. I will miss you everyday my love.. I think we truly understood each other and I am so grateful to have had a friend like you in my life for so long.โ โ โGossip Girlโ co-star Taylor Momsen on Instagram.
โMichelle was one of a kind. I remember her coming on set for the first time and just absolutely owning it. She was a force of nature and just so so unapologetically funny and magnetic.. remembering those years with a big smile. Just a terrible loss. Love you.โ โ โGossip Girlโ co-star Chace Crawford via Instagram.

โMy heart is heavy today. We have lost a beautiful soul. Michelle was fiercely intelligent, howlingly funny, and a very talented person. She died much too young, and leaves behind scores of people who knew and loved her. My heart goes out to her family who are good people, and are suffering the greatest loss anyone could bear. I hope everyone can give them space to heal in this most difficult time. Godspeed Michelle. You are missed.โ โ โBuffyโ co-star James Marsters via Instagram.
