Aaliyah is still in the heart of her celeb pals 14 years after her passing in a plane crash. Some of them including Janet Jackson, P. Diddy and Missy Elliott took to Instagram and Twitter to pay tribute to the late singer who passed away at the age 22 on August 25, 2001.
Jackson, who was often cited by Aaliyah as one of her biggest musical influences, posted on Instagram a picture of a handwritten note dedicated to the "Journey to the Past" singer. It read, "What I shared with u [is] ever sacred, everlasting, [and] it's pure and it will endure. I love u Aaliyah. #RIP." A caption for the picture read, "I know u r there shining down on me. #ConversationsInACafe."
To honor Aaliyah, Diddy posted a throwback picture showing him striking a pose together with the late singer. "#RIPAaliyah," read the caption. The picture was taken at the backstage of 2001 MTV Movie Awards after the two read the nomination for Best Dance Sequence.
Elliott wrote on Twitter, "RIP Baby Girl," alongside a screenshot of an old article in which the rapper referred to Aaliyah as an "angel" and "sweet person with great, incredible talent." Meanwhile, D.L. Hughley, who was going to play Aaliyah's songs on his radio show, tweeted, "Remembering Aaliyah today, what's your favorite song? Find out what DL & the crew have to say."
RIP Baby Girl.
