The search for missing Glee star Naya Rivera has resumed.

Rivera, 33, went missing on Wednesday. She had reportedly rented a pontoon boat with her young son.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department announced on Wednesday they were searching for a possible drowning victim at Lake Piru, located approximately 55 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

Authorities later confirmed that Rivera is the missing person and said the search would resume on Thursday “at first light”.

On Thursday morning, a new update informed the public that Lake Piru would be closed to the public while the search continues.

Dive teams from other agencies in the region are assisting with the search.

Helicopters and drones will also join the search, as they did on Wednesday, and authorities are checking the lake’s 12-mile shoreline.
