Fellow Buffy co-star David Boreanaz, who played Angel, said on Instagram it was “so very sad.. horrible news” and another Buffy alum, Emma Caulfield Ford, who played former demon Anya Jenkins on the show, posted on Instagram Story, writing, “I’m so sorry your bright light died so young. Our Buffy family lost a little sister today… Rest in peace lovely Mish Mish. You were loved.”
Melissa Gilbert, who starred with Trachtenberg in the 1996 film A Holiday For Love, wrote on Instagram: “My heart aches for your family and all those who loved you so.”
Melissa Joan Heart also took to social media to share a scene that they filmed together for Clarissa Explains It All.
The 48-year-old actress – who played the lead role on the teen sitcom – wrote: “I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of @michelletrachtenberg!! So young, so talented and so sweet!
“Here is a fun scene from when she was on #ClarissaExplainsItAll. I think this was about 1992 and the episode was an idea I had about babysitting a total nightmare. But Michelle was nothing like her character and even this young, we got along wonderfully. (sic)”
