Those close to Junior King have continued to flood the timeline with tributes. His girlfriend, dancer Kayla Peters, has shared multiple memories she experienced with the late star.

Kayla has also started a new series called Healing Out Loud, where she shares her journey through grief.

“Insomnia has been crazy over the past three weeks. Struggling to fall asleep, because waking up with a broken heart every morning is painful and exhausting,” she said.

“This [song] really made me feel so grounded and sane for a moment.

“Each day is different, but we keep handling ourselves with grace. It won’t get better, but it will get easier. Sending you hugs and love up there, Nana. Rest easy, Junior King.”
