“Emily was the person who encouraged me to talk about how I was feeling.”
Emily Hartridge’s boyfriend has shared an emotive video following the YouTuber’s death.

Hartridge passed away last week after being involved in an electric scooter accident in London.
She suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hazell shared his video to Instagram this morning, saying that Emily would have wanted him to share how he was feeling.
“I’ve had so many messages from people wanting to check my wellbeing,” he says in the clip.
“For all those who care about my recovery, I’m fine and I just wanted to say thank you for all the nice messages.
“Emily was the person who encouraged me to talk about how I was feeling, so I just wanted to put a video out here because it seems the easiest way to say thank you and let people know that I’m okay.”

Hartridge had recently spoke candidly about her decision to start freezing her eggs to start a family in the future.
She and Hazell were also planning to move in together.
A few weeks ago, he shared a post detailing how his girlfriend, a mental health advocate, had helped him overcome his own struggles with addiction and depression.
“Emily you are THE most down to earth, inspiring, and beautiful person, inside and out that I’ve ever met,” he wrote.
“I had got used to going through the ups and downs of life on my own, and was pretty much ready to continue to do that for good.”
Tributes have continued to pour in following Hartridge’s death.
