Tanya Roberts received a moving tribute from her co-star “Charlie’s Angels”, Jaclyn Smith.
Roberts died Monday night while being hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The star’s death was incorrectly reported a day early when her representative told several stores she died while she was still alive.
With Roberts’ death, Smith shared an emotional message in memory of her co-star with a flashback photo of herself with Roberts and co-star Cheryl Ladd on Instagram.
