This week, the 33-year-old was reportedly laid to rest in Los Angeles after she was confirmed dead from drowning at the California lake on July 13.
On Saturday fans, family and friends arrived at the site of her death with photographs and banners of the late star.
The flyer read “in our hearts forever” and stated the event was a “celebration of life.”
The poster featured an image of the mom holding a butterfly.
Underneath, a touching quote from the actress read: “Butterflies can’t see their wings.
“They can’t see how truly beautiful they are but everyone else can. People are like that as well.”
Crowds of people in face masks were seen at the tribute, with some stopping to tie flowers and photos to the railings as they went by.
They then stood in solidarity as they shared their memories of the tragic star.
Last month, Naya was missing for five days before she was discovered by a search team, which set out to look for her following a day of swimming with her four-year-old son, Josey.
According to the actress’ death certificate obtained by People, Naya was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles on July 24. Ventura County officials also confirmed on the document that Naya’s cause of death was “drowning.”
The record allegedly states that she died in a matter of “[minutes]” with “no other significant conditions” contributing to the death.
On July 8, the mom of one “drowned” while “saving” her 4-year-old son, Josey, at Lake Piru just outside of LA.
Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed Naya’s identity using dental records.
Speaking at a news conference, officials said Naya’s body was found in the northeastern portion of the lake – which is 60 ft deep – and an “empty canyon” of growth.
Detectives told how she had mustered every last ounce of energy to save Josey, but could not save herself.
Meanwhile, Naya’s ex-husband, Ryan Dorsey, poured out his heart in a tribute claiming life “isn’t fair.”
Ryan shared Josey with the star and said he would “always love” his former wife.
He said he was grateful they were brought together to create the “sweetest and kindest smart little boy we could ever hope for.”
Ryan wrote: “This is so unfair… there’s not enough words to express the hole left in everyone’s hearts. I can’t believe this is life now.”
