Sharing a photo of them together on the set of Charmed, she wrote: “Rebecca Balding was not only a wonderful actress, she was such a good person.
“I loved every minute I got to spend with her on Charmed. I have such fond memories of Rebecca and her husband, Jim, dancing at our wrap parties! My heart goes out to all who loved her. I feel so honored that our paths crossed in this lifetime. Rest In Peace.”
