Tanya Roberts received a touching tribute from her “Charlie’s Angels” co-star Jaclyn Smith.
Roberts died on Monday night while hospitalized in Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The star’s death was mistakenly reported a day early, when her rep told multiple outlets that she’d passed away when, in fact, she was still alive.
With Roberts’ passing Smith shared an emotional post in remembrance of her co-star with a throwback photo of herself with Roberts and co-star Cheryl Ladd on Instagram Tuesday.
