Savannah Guthrie returned to the Today Show studio for the first time since her mom Nancy was abducted from her home more than a month ago.
The host was seen in images first revealed by TMZ hugging staff and crew at the studio in Manhattan, New York City on Thursday morning.
Savannah appeared emotional in footage of the reunion, and she was seen embracing colleagues and making a speech to the studio staff.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, NBC said Savannah returned to say thank you to her colleagues for supporting her through her mother’s heartbreaking disappearance, which remains unsolved.
The studio said in the statement that Savannah plans to eventually return to the air, but her visit on Thursday was ‘to be with and thank her TODAY colleagues.’
‘While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home,’ the studio said.
Savannah’s return to her Today Show set comes 33 days after her mom Nancy, 84, vanished from her home in Tucson, Arizona.
Investigators released footage of a masked suspect appearing to break into her home and evidence suggested she had been abducted, but no arrests or suspects have been named in the month-long search.

Before Thursday’s appearance in New York City, Savannah was last seen in public on Monday when she joined her sister Annie and brother-in-law Tommaso Cioni to visit a memorial outside Nancy’s home.
