"Something about that moment made everything really real- we actually made that pilot, it actually got picked up, we actually were about to shoot a whole season of this incredible show on this lot with this amazing cast that I was loving more and more each day."

She added: "Each day was full of laughter, of excitement, of nerves, of confidence, of elated exhaustion, and of beautiful friendship & collaboration. #Brooklyn99."

Plenty of fans were left in tears after reading Melissa's emotional message. One person said: "So sad to see it go. Thank you for being a part of such an amazing show that's helped so many of us, I'm going to miss it so much."

I'm so thankful for the fans who kept us alive when we were dead in the water.

"We came back stronger and better — all thanks to your love and support. I will miss Terry Jeffords because he IS me. The NINE-NINE will live on forever in my heart and in the hearts of millions of fans around the world."
