In June, she gave a heartfelt speech about her late spouse at the 49th Daytime Emmy Awards.
"I am so happy to be here with you tonight celebrating people that we love and have lost this year," she said at the time.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I send my sympathy to my heart to the loved ones of those we pay tribute to tonight," Lucci continued. "My husband, Helmut Huber, was a larger-than-life force of nature. He was a confident caregiver who knew exactly how to make things happen and to keep us all laughing at the same time. Helmut loved and was so proud of our magnificent children and our grandchildren."
The soap opera star noted that Huber was "the love of her life."

"They say that grief is the price we pay for love," she said. "Well, grief is an excruciating price, but I would not give up even one second of the love."
Lucci played Erica Kane in "All My Children" from 1970 until the series ended in 2011. After 19 nominations, she finally won her first and only Daytime Emmy in 1999.
While Lucci has kept a low profile following the loss of Huber, she thanked fans for her support in April.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"You have deeply touched my heart—I thank each and every one of you for your outpouring of condolences for me—and beautiful, loving comments for Helmut," she wrote on Instagram.

In 2020, Lucci told Fox News Digital that Huber never left her side.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I got really lucky because I married somebody who is smart and handsome, and he’s very confident and he has a great sense of humor," she said at the time. "And, fortunately, he’s not only been supportive, which is a lovely word. He’s been with me, really with me hands-on and right there. He’s really been a rock, and I got lucky because how could I know all that going in? I was 22."
