Los Angeles, California - Ellen DeGeneres is reflecting on the loss of her friend, dancer, and producer Stephen "tWitch" Boss, over a week after his tragic death.

The former talk show host took to Instagram to reflect on the "really tough" aftermath of Boss' death on December 13 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

"Everyone is in pain and trying to make sense of it. And we’ll never make sense of it. And the holidays are hard, I think, anyway," the star said.

"But to honor tWitch, I think the best thing that we can do is to laugh, hug each other, play games and dance and sing. That’s the way we honor him, is we do the things that he loved to do, which is dancing."

Ellen has in recent days dedicated her Instagram feed to Boss, who was most well-known for being the DJ on her talk show.

His wife, Allison Holker, whom he met on So You Think You Can Dance, confirmed his death on December 14. He was 40.

DeGeneres quickly reacted, saying she was "heartbroken" over the loss of her "family."

Holker took to Instagram this week to say that Boss, with whom she shared three children, was her "one and only."
