Powerful footage shows the cast of "Glee" holding hands in a show of solidarity by the lake where singer and actress Naya Rivera's body was found on Monday.

Ventura County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Kevin Donoghue told People that after arriving at Lake Piru in California around 8 a.m., Rivera's castmates prayed for Rivera at the edge of the water shortly before the body was located, as seen in footage captured by ABC 7.

"Some of her cast members from 'Glee' came to the lake and they were allowed to come down to the water's edge, and they, as a group, they prayed for her. And it was shortly after that, that her body was located," Donoghue said.

While it is not clear from the footage exactly who was present, it has been widely reported that Heather Morris, Kevin McHale, Amber Riley, and Chris Colfer, all of whom starred with Rivera in "Glee," were among those who joined together at the lake.

Rivera's "Step Up: High Water" costar Terrence Green, who was also present at the lake, shared a number of posts and videos to his Instagram Story on the day, writing in one: "We called out to you this morning ... You answered."

Police said they are "confident" that the body found floating in the northern portion of the lake was 33-year-old Rivera's, and added that there was no indication of foul play or suicide.

The body was discovered five days after Rivera was reported missing after her 4-year-old son was found alone on a pontoon boat, which the mother and son had rented.

Tributes have since poured in for Rivera, who played Santana Lopez on "Glee," with several former costars reacting to her death.

Jane Lynch, who played cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, wrote: "Rest sweet, Naya. What a force you were. Love and peace to your family."

Chris Colfer, who played Kurt Hummel, also posted a lengthy tribute to his late costar.

"How can you convey all your love and respect for someone in one post? How can you summarize a decade of friendship and laughter with words alone? If you were friends with Naya Rivera, you simply can't," Hummel wrote.

"Her brilliance and humor were unmatched. Her beauty and talent were otherworldly. She spoke truth to power with poise and fearlessness. She could turn a bad day into a great day with a single remark. She inspired and uplifted people without even trying. Being close to her was both a badge of honor and a suit of armor. Naya was truly one of a kind, and she always will be."

Alex Newell, Lea Michele, Kristin Chenoweth, and several more "Glee" stars all also posted tributes to Rivera.

Rivera's body was found on the anniversary of the death of Cory Monteith, the "Glee" star who died of an overdose at the age of 31, seven years ago.
