"My brother and I were very, very lucky to have her in our lives, and so, I'm not sad because she had a great time," she said on The View. "I think I'm just sad sometimes because I think, 'Who will love me the way that she did?'
"But I realized that my brother and I have each other so we're OK."
Goldberg, who often had her brother with her on film sets she was working on, had not addressed the crushing loss on her Twitter page early Wednesday.
