The entertainment world was shocked yesterday by the sudden passing of Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg at the age of 39. Best known for her role as Georgina Sparks, the actress reportedly passed away due to complications following a liver transplant. Although she never publicly spoke about her health struggles, fans had noticed her significant weight loss in recent months.

One of her close friends later confirmed that Michelle was aware of the risks and knew she might not survive.

Blake Lively, despite recent controversy surrounding her involvement with director Justin Baldoni, did not remain silent. Fans of the show eagerly awaited a statement from the actress, who finally shared a heartfelt tribute on her Instagram.

“I met her on set, and from the first moment, she was like electricity. Her presence was immediately felt, and she had this way of changing the energy of a room. Michelle gave 200% in everything—her work, her friendships, and her passion for the industry. She always wore lip gloss, not for the cameras, but because she believed it created a positive atmosphere,” Lively wrote, sharing a photo of them together.

Michelle Trachtenberg’s passing is a heartbreaking loss for the film and TV industry, and her legacy as a talented, dedicated actress will always be remembered.
