Antin revealed the two had been inseparable since they first met when Bennett was just 16 years old.
She described Bennett as her "beautiful best friend," her chosen sister and creative partner, explaining how they became family while chasing dreams and performing together.
While fans knew Bennett for her powerhouse vocals and stage presence, Antin said she knew the woman behind the spotlight — wonderfully funny, delightfully silly, endlessly caring, and fiercely loyal.
Antin added that Bennett's laugh was contagious and her smile could light up any room, and that her heart was as beautiful as her voice.
She admitted her "heart aches every day" knowing she can't call or see Bennett anymore, and said she's especially saddened Bennett wasn't here to witness the overwhelming love and recognition following her passing.

Looking ahead, Antin plans to share some of Bennett's most iconic performances, writing that "the stage was where she came alive" and that every performance reflected "the joy, passion, and light she carried within her."
She closed her tribute by thanking Bennett for decades of laughter, late-night conversations, adventures, and dreams, writing: "You have left a mark on this world that will never fade, and a place in my heart that can never be filled.
I love & miss you endlessly, my beautiful friend."
