In her tribute, Handler described her love for Bravo and reminisced about the time they spent working together. I loved this nugget in a big way, and I took great pleasure in how many people loved him as much as I did and do. @chuybravo gave us so much laughter and I’ll never forget the sound of his laughter coming from his office into mine. Or his “business calls” with his “business manager,” or his shoe rack with all his children-sized shoes, Chelsea Handler, via Instagram. Chelsea then took to Instagram again on Dec. 16 to thank everyone for their support and speak further about how she views death as a “change of energy.”. He was such a little spark of joy … a big spark of joy … I don’t think of death as the end anymore. I used to, now I just think of it as a change of energy and that now he’s going to be in ways that I wasn’t able to experience him before. , Chelsea Handler, via Instagram
