Lea Michele bravely paid tribute to her late boyfriend Cory Monteith at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles last night.

The actress, who picked up the award for choice TV comedy actress, was joined by a few of her Glee co-stars onstage before making her heart wrenching acceptance speech.

 Lea was joined by some of the Glee cast before stepping up to the microphone.

After thanking the fans for all their support following Cory’s death earlier this summer, Lea dedicated her award to him.

“I wanted to dedicate this award to Cory, and for all of you out there who loved and admired Cory as much as I did. I promise that with your love, we’ll get through this together,” she said.

The couple had been dating for over a year when Cory died from a drugs overdose.

The 26-year-old continued: “He was very special to me and to the world, and we were all lucky to witness his incredible talent, his handsome smile and his beautiful, beautiful heart.”

Glee, which is returning for a fifth season, also claimed the choice TV comedy show award. Speaking about next season, Amber Riley said: “Although we lost someone that we really love, that you guys love too, we are very fortunate to come back.”
