Hi guys. I don't do many of these kinds of post, but hearding the news just now completely broken my heart. 💔

R.I.P Michelle Trachtenberg, as many of you will know as Dawn from Buffy.

She isn't someone I have seen outside the show, but throughout my reactions I have always said how impressed I was with how good an actor she was for her age, even this past week saying "how can anyone not love Dawn?!"

This news just feels so wrong to me, but life can definitely feel unfair at times. I wanted to make this short tribute, as the Buffy fanbase has been so kind and welcoming to me. And I know you / we all are probably taking this news very badly.

Love you all! Take care of yourself, and those around you. x I'll make a proper tribute in the next episode (which I believe will be Angel).

Oh no! RIP Michelle ❤️ I had no idea til I saw your post, how sad

Maia Brodsky

Yes I just found out via another reaction channel. I'm sitting here a bit shocked still. Just managed to stop crying a minute ago, but I'm sure I'll start again once the costar tributes start flowing in. Rest in peace to one hell of a talented woman.

I just heard the news myself! Shocking.

I thought of you when I saw the news. The notification I received referred to her as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star, but when my mom asked who she was I said, "Harriet the Spy". She'll always be Harriet the Spy to me.

I saw the news a little while ago and I'm still struggling to deal with it. She was still so young, and it's absolutely heartbreaking 💔. Rest in Peace Michelle, you'll be missed 💜

Absolutely tragic. She was a fantastic actress and I'm sure a fantastic person, too 😞 RIP Michelle

Oh no, that is sad.

Not a bbc news notification I expected to see today. So young, RIP.

5 is my favourite season and No place like home one of my favourite episodes. We've lost Buffy cast members before but this is the first from the main cast so it rubs esp hard for me and 39 is no age. I loved Dawns introduction and Michelle was perfect in the role rewatching season 5 will always feel a little sadder now.

I just found out 3 minutes ago from my best friend. We are both Buffy fans, and Michelle's death is so expected, especially given that she wasn't even 40 years old.

Absolutely devastated, I told my daughter "Dawn died" and she was heartbroken. RIP Michelle, gone way too young 😢

WHAT?!?!! OMG that is so sad.... :(

I hope you had a great birthday, Michael! Sorry for the news!

Michael Short

Thanks mate, I did have a nice birthday. Time to start a new watch through of Buffy in Michelle's honour :)

I know, I saw this news in a clickbait-y looking headline and first thought, no that can't be right, so I looked it up for a legit source then was so shocked. Seems she had some health problems recently too. So, so, tragic. Not that any age is a good age to die, but she was so young.

Gutted, just such sad, sad news. Little Dawnie is gone, something doesn't feel right about that.

Man. :( I told my bff, he said he loved her work in Ice Princess, 17 Again, and Inspector Gadget. And I knew her as Dawn from BtVS, of course.
