Add The California Post on Google The fiancé of the reporter who plunged to her death in an NBC Los Angeles helicopter crash has broken his silence.
Robert Barrientos took to Instagram late Tuesday to pay tribute to Eliana Moreno a week after the horrific incident.
“I know I’ve been truly blessed to have experienced the love I shared with her in this life. Eliana was simply amazing — loving, kind, compassionate, giving, intelligent and extremely silly,” he wrote.
A former radio anchor and Kankakee, Illinois, native, Barrientos recalled the couple’s plans to move to Tennessee.
“We had plans to one day retire and move to Tennessee, have some land and care for some animals. Although those dreams are over, her memory will live in my heart and soul forever,” he added.
The grieving partner said her family has been a source of support for him.
“I want to thank my sons Andrew and Brian, my family, Eliana’s father and the rest of her family for showing me so much love during the hardest time of my life,” he continued.
The deadly crash of NewsChopper 4 in Chatsworth, California, killed three people — Moreno, pilot George Marciniw, and 29-year-old pedestrian Edy Gutierrez Mejia.
