“Devastating news about Denise Welch going missing in the hot air balloon…This is why you can’t take every day for granted,” one user wrote.

“Can’t believe I missed the news about Denise Welch flying away in a hot air balloon,” another added.

Welch responded by sharing a video of casting assistant Kristian Wall flying a paper hot air balloon with “Denise” written on it.

“So lucky are those who got a sighting of my journey,” she joked in the post.
