Paying tribute to Roberts, Pingel said in a statement previously released to ABC: ‘I’m devastated. I’ve been friends with Tanya for over 20 years.
‘She was full of boundless energy and we always had the best times. She was truly an Angel and I will miss her so so much.’
O’Brien added: ‘Tanya and I have never been apart. This is too much to handle. Her animals are lost without her and so am I.
‘As I held her in her last moments, she opened her eyes. I was able to see her beautiful eyes one last time. Tanya had the most beautiful eyes.’
O’Brien was reportedly given special permission to visit Roberts shortly before her reported death.
