Co-stars reflected on Rivera's sense of humour and moral support

Tributes have been paid to actress Naya Rivera, whose death has been confirmed by US police.

The 33-year-old, best known for playing Santana Lopez on Glee, had gone missing during a boat trip in California.

After a long search, divers found her body on Monday, prompting an outpouring of love and sympathy from her co-stars.

"She was so independent and strong and the idea of her not being here is something I cannot comprehend," wrote Glee actor Kevin McHale on Twitter.

"She was the single most quick-witted person I've ever met, with a steel-trap memory that could recall the most forgettable conversations from a decade ago.

"She was the most talented person I've ever known and I'm furious we won't get to see more."

"Rest sweet, Naya. What a force you were. Love and peace to your family," added Jane Lynch, who played coach Sue Sylvester on the show.

Many of her former cast-mates gathered at the bank of Lake Piru, near Los Angeles, to pay their respects.

Chris Colfer, who played Kurt Hummel in the teen comedy, shared a photo of himself with Rivera on Instagram.
