Speaking en episode of on ‘Dish Nation’, she added: “If I don’t have it on, it’s in my purse, it’s in my bag. It’s close to me. She wanted to be a hummingbird and she looked at us as hummingbirds. So, here’s to my forever angel hummingbird.”

Following her appearance on the Fox Network talk show, Tamar took to Instagram to pay further tribute to her sister and claimed that it is an “honour” to be able to take her everywhere.

She wrote: “Told you Trace because we promised you.. and It is also my honor to take you EVERYWHERE we go. just like you asked. even to @dishnation. I miss you every single second
