Ruby Rose has shared an emotional tribute following the passing of her friend who she says helped her stay sober.
The 30-year-old actress took to Instagram on Sunday night (19.02.17) to share a lengthy post in memory of her friend Natalie Hall saying that her passing has left her "devastated".
Ruby also thanked Natalie for her support when she made the decision to quit drinking back in 2011.
Posting a picture of Natalie enjoying the sun on a balcony, the ‘Orange Is The New Black’ star wrote: "Natalie… you were one of a kind. To wake to the news that to won’t be lighting up my phone with ridiculous texts and I won’t be laughing and pointing at you when you drop the trolley and erewhon in front of everyone and try to walk away like it wasn’t you … I’m defeated. I have all our last texts and conversations from a few weeks ago and you were as kind as you were funny. I adored you and I hope you know how much. I only knew you 5 years but you were one of my strengths in staying sober. I looked up to you in many ways. You took me under your wing…I am hurting that you have been taken too soon.
"I am hurting that you were so up to date and proud on how far I’ve come and yet I don’t think you knew how much I owe that to sobriety and friends I met like you along the way. There was and will only ever be one Natalie Hall.
"Many people are mourning today. You were more loved than I think you could fathom my lil sis. (sic)"
Paris Jackson – who is the daughter of the late Michael Jackson – also shared a tribute to Natalie.
Sharing a picture of the two of them together, Paris, 18, wrote: "My sweet natalie. you meant so much to so many people. it hurts me immensely to know that you’re gone but with relief knowing you are in a better place and are now free of the troubles this crap world gave you. i don’t know who is going to put me in check with such brutal honesty now but i’ll be lucky if they’re half as dope as you. rest in peace nat i love and miss you so much. please visit me in my dreams (sic)"
