Chelsea Handler Remembers Her Late Big Brother, Who Died at Age 22, in Touching Tribute Post

Chelsea Handler lost her older brother 33 years ago, but the impact he made on her life will last forever.

The talk show host took to Instagram on Tuesday evening to remember the eldest Handler sibling, who died after he fell off a cliff in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, over three decades ago.

“33 years ago this month my brother Chet died. He was 22, and the oldest of 6 kids,” wrote Handler, 42.

“We were never 6 again. Only 5. The number was never the right number again,” she continued.

“But, because of that day, I learned how to live and love and laugh and to: Show up, Stand up, Love up. Argue, Fight, Make up, Show up again. Go to bat for people. Tell them you love them. Defend your friends. Stand up for yourself. Give away the things you have in excess. Give away the things you love the most,” she wrote, and concluded, “This is the only chance we get. Make it count.  Live a little.”
