Tributes have been pouring in following the death of legendary singer Tina Turner.
On Wednesday, the love and respect for Turner was evident as she was honored by a slew of celebrities.
Actress Angela Bassett, who depicted Turner in the 1993 film “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” honored her in a touching Instagram post.
“How do we say farewell to a woman who owned her pain and trauma and used it as a means to help change the world? Through her courage in telling her story, her commitment to stay the course in her life, no matter the sacrifice, and her determination to carve out a space in rock and roll for herself and for others who look like her, Tina Turner showed others who lived in fear what a beautiful future filled with love, compassion, and freedom should look like,” she wrote in the caption of a photo of the pair.
Bassett also revealed what Turner told her during their last conversation.
“Her final words to me – for me – were ‘You never mimicked me. Instead, you reached deep into your soul, found your inner Tina, and showed her to the world,'” she added.
