Catherine O'Hara's former colleagues are paying tribute to the late star of "The Studio" at the Actor Awards.

During the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on March 1, Seth Rogen took the stage to honor O'Hara, who died on Jan. 30 from a pulmonary embolism, according to her death certificate, which said another contributing cause was rectal cancer. She was 71.

O'Hara posthumously won the Actor Award for best female actor in a comedy series for her work on "The Studio." In the Apple TV comedy that satirizes Hollywood, the "Home Alone" star played a fictional producer, who is a mentor to Seth Rogen's character.

"I was asked to assume the very sad honor of accepting this award on O'Hara's behalf," Rogen said on stage. "I know she would have been honored to receive this award from her fellow performers, who I know she respected so much. She was such a big fan of all of yours.

"I obviously have been reflecting on the time I was fortunate enough to spend with her and working with her," Rogen added. "And something that I've just been marveling at over the last few weeks was really her ability to be generous and kind and gracious while never, ever minimizing her own talents and her own ability to contribute to the work that we were doing. She knew she could destroy and she wanted to destroy every day on set."
