The emergency services are searching for Glee actress Naya Rivera after her four-year-old son was found alone on a boat she rented on Wednesday afternoon.
She reportedly spent the afternoon swimming with her son, according to Ventura County Sheriff’s Department Capt Eric Buschow.
Divers and helicopters searched the reservoir until darkness, but no trace of Naya has been found. The search will continue in the morning.
In 2009, Rivera was cast as Santana Lopez, a high school cheerleader, on Fox‘s musical comedy series Glee.
Naya starred in 113 episodes of the hit musical series from 2009 to 2015.
