WWE star Charlotte Flair lavished praise on Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton on Saturday night for a kind gesture he made for someone who was close to the former champion.

Flair appeared at Sports Illustrated Beyond the Pitch in New York City and told Fox News Digital that Haliburton contributed $10,000 to a GoFundMe set up for the family of 8-year-old Scarlett Guillen who recently died after battling a rare and incurable form of brain cancer known as Diffuse Midline Glioma.

"It really helped cover her funeral costs," Flair said. "I saw him tonight at the show and I was like, hey, thank you. You have no idea how much that meant to me, to the family. Just, what a great guy."

Scarlett was known as Flair’s biggest fan. She was featured in a segment before WrestleMania 42 about how the two shared a bond that will never be broken. Flair also wore butterfly ring gear in honor of Scarlett.

Upon her death, Flair put out a message on her X account.

"Thank you for the light you brought into my life," she began.

"You reminded all of us that a life isn’t measured by its length, but by the love it leaves behind. Your light doesn’t end here. It lives on in your family, your friends, and in every heart you touched. It lives on in every butterfly that makes someone stop and smile, and in every diamond that catches the light.

"You will always be our butterfly. You will always be our diamond girl. You are loved beyond words, and you will never, ever be forgotten."
