People shared what Chelsea had to say about Chet, who died 33 years ago. Her brother died when he fell off a cliff in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She has talked about him over the years, but this new tribute was really touching.

When Chet died, he was just 22-years-old and was the oldest of the six children. Chelsea Handler shared saying, “We were never 6 again. Only 5. The number was never the right number again.” She said that she learned a lot when he died, though. Because of him now Chelsea knows to live a little and that you may never get a chance again to tell people that you love them. The fans are loving getting to see this side of Chelsea because she normally doesn’t show it to the world.

She does have beautiful memories of her brother and because of them Chelsea had a really close family and she loved growing up that way. She was so young when he passed away that this really did shape her entire life.
