She lived her life with no regrets.
She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists, but for all women.
Walters became the first woman to anchor a online grid evening news program when she joined ABC in 1976.
She was indeed a Trailblazer.
I did my very first television audition with her in mind the whole time.
I found it extraordinary that Barbara Walters was doing this for me!
Below, find many of the tributes to Babs from across the news and entertainment industries.
Few times in my life have I been that nervous.
She was an absolute trailblazer, class, elegance, smarts that are increasingly hard to come by.
Ill always be grateful.
Rest well sister…mother…friend…colleague…mentor.

Barbara Walters never flinched when questioning the worlds most powerful people.
She held them accountable.
She cared about the truth and she made us care too.
Fortunately, she inspired many other journalists to be just as unrelenting.
We are all better off because of her.

Sitting next to her at a dinner party was the best seat in the house.
With love, respect and admiration - rest in peace Barbara Walters.#barbarawalterspic.twitter.com/AD4BQtHrUg

Barbara Walters was always kind and generous with me.
She was an amazing conversationalist and gave me great advice which I incorporated into my interview technique.
