On Monday, the actress took to Instagram with a tribute to her late father, Greg Hudgens.
“Today marks one year since my dad passed away. He’s my angel looking down on me and I know how proud he is,” she captioned the photo of herself with an angelic filter. “I keep trucking on but still feel his presence in my heart. And there he will forever stay?.”
