Rapper Big Sean is “still grieving and in shock” following the death of his ex-fiancée Naya Rivera.
The 32-year-old rapper took to social media on Friday to share an emotional tribute to the late Glee actress, who died from accidental drowning in California.
Big Sean, whose real name is Sean Michael Leonard Anderson, posted two photographs of Naya alongside a heartbreaking tribute.
He penned to his 12.3million followers: “Rest in Peace Naya, God Bless your Soul! Thank you for blessing us all with your talent and presence.
“You are a hero! Not just because of how you saved your son, also because of the barriers you knocked down for so many people to make them feel confident in themselves and to stand tall and be proud when they couldn’t achieve that on their own.”

“I appreciate and cherish everything that ever happened between us for making me wiser and a better person.
“I’m still grieving and in shock, I can’t believe this is real.”
Naya, 33, went missing on July 8 after renting a boat in Lake Piru with her son Josey, four.
