\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Andy Cohen<\/strong><\/a> is mourning the tragic death of a beloved member of the Watch What Happens Live<\/strong> <\/em>family.<\/p>\n On Thursday (June 25), the 58-year-old closed his Bravo late-night talk show by paying tribute to the show\u2019s production manager Kyra Samson<\/strong>, who died at 28 after being diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore we go tonight, I have some devastating news to share from our Watch What Happens Live<\/em> family,\u201d Andy<\/strong> began, already choked up. \u201cThis is hard for me to get through, but, on Tuesday night, our beloved former production manager Kyra Samson passed away from brain cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n \u201cShe was only 28. During her four wonderful years with us, Kyra was known for her sweet smile and gentle demeanor \u2014 but she could also be a small but mighty enforcer,\u201d he continued. \u201cTo see Kyra on a bullhorn corralling massive crowds at BravoCon was truly a sight to behold.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s going to be terribly missed by all of us here. And, no doubt, by everyone who was lucky enough to know her,\u201d Andy<\/strong> added, as he wiped tears from his face.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope you\u2019ll join us in honoring her legacy by donating to the Kyra Fund, which will help provide urgently needed research for people with glioblastomas \u2014 and hopefully help future Kyras out there,\u201d Andy<\/strong> said as he directed fans to the website<\/a> to donate to the cause.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are sending all of our prayers and love to her family and her friends. We love you, Kyra,\u201d Andy<\/strong> concluded his tribute, which featured a picture of them together.<\/p>\n Our thoughts are with Kyra Samson<\/strong>\u2018s loved ones during this difficult time. RIP<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Posted To:Andy Cohen<\/a> Watch What Happens Live<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
