Amber Riley broke down in a “puddle” of tears on Thursday after performing an emotional TV tribute to her late friend and Glee co-star Naya Rivera.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old appeared on U.S. late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live! to sing her new song, A Moment, in memory of Rivera, who died in a tragic boating accident in July.<\/p>\n

Introducing the segment, guest host Lil Rel Howery, who was also close to Rivera, said, “Not too long ago, we both lost a really amazing friend in a tragic accident and we both will miss her forever.<\/p>\n

“I want to thank the show for really letting us do this and (Riley’s) here to perform a tribute to our good friend, Naya Rivera.”<\/p>\n

As Riley performed her set, which aired in black-and-white, photos of Naya through the years were shown on a big screen, featuring snaps from her childhood and others with her family, including her young son Josey, who turns five on 17 September.<\/p>\n

After the gig, the star, who performed under her stage name Riley, admitted she was a mess moments after the cameras stopped rolling.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t make it 15 seconds before I was a puddle,” she wrote on Twitter. “I love you Naya. RIP Angel”.<\/p>\n

“Naya’s amazing mom gave me those photos,” Riley added of her picture backdrop. “Thank you Mama Yoli”.<\/p>\n

She went on to urge fans to “continue to uplift and pray for them”, and also expressed her gratitude to her pal, Lil Rel, writing: “thank you @LilRel4 for letting me a part of your vision for our friend. Love you”.<\/p>\n

A Moment is the first single from Riley’s forthcoming self-titled EP, which is set for release on 2 October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
