Heather Morris, another star on the set of Glee, took to her Instagram this week to beg authorities to find her co-star, Naya Rivera after she went missing earlier this week. Morris wrote on her account that she felt “helpless” amid the news of her disappearance.

According to the actress, who played Rivera’s love interest on the series, she and a small group of friends went to search for Rivera’s remains on Lake Piru in Ventura Country.

She wrote to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office on Twitter that she and her friends wanted to help them find her. As it was previously reported, Rivera went missing on Wednesday after renting out a boat with her 4-year-old child, Josey Dorsey.

According to the police, when they discovered the vessel, Josey was on the boat by himself. He told authorities that his mother never got back on the boat after they went for a swim together.

My name is Heather Morris, I'm Nayas close friend and co-worker, and I'm trying to conduct an on foot search and rescue mission along with a small group of friends at Lake Piru. I understand your team is doing EVERYTHING in their power, but we are feeling helpless, powerless and

Currently, the police are on their fifth day of searching for the actress. Unfortunately, her death has been presumed due to accidental drowning. No foul play is suspected.

The news came as a massive shock to the entertainment industry including many of Naya’s former Glee co-stars. Yesterday, her ex-boyfriend, Tahj Mowry, uploaded an Instagram post in which he described Naya as his “first love.”

Around the same time, The Daily Mail obtained photographs of her ex-husband, Ryan Dorsey, walking their 4-year-old son back to his vehicle. Reports claim Josey was smiling as his father carried him to his car.

Fans of Naya and Ryan know they had a complicated marriage before they finally divorced. For instance, Rivera had been accused and arrested on domestic violence charges.
