Hollywood sex therapist Harwick is believed to have been thrown over a balcony by an ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, 41, who was charged with murder and residential burglary last Wednesday.

Speaking of his relationship with Harwick, Carey, 61, said on Friday’s show: “Back in September 2018, I was in a beautiful, great, best relationship of my life with a woman named Amie Harwick.

“She was a sex therapist and mental health advocate. She had a PhD and a master’s degree, and she was beautiful and fun, and cared deeply about people and improving their lives and was just a joy to be around.

“I was so in love with her.”

Carey and Harwick, 38, ended their engagement in 2018, but even after they broke up, Carey said, the pair still “loved each other very much.”

During the segment Carey explained how he would send Harwick the set lists for his show, and one week he even made a set that was especially for her.

EMOTIONAL SET LIST

Carey, who is also the host of The Price Is Right, said: “This one week, I said, ‘Hey I made a set for you.’ And she said, ‘Oh really?’ And I said, ‘Yeah.’

“I played it for her and she teared up.

“We would sing the words in each other’s ears.

“We would hold each other and dance in the kitchen to it and slow dance in the bathroom to it, and the office, living room or where we were.

“I would hold her and we would hold hands in the car and listen to it.

“We would sing to each other.

“All these songs were so important to us and I want to play them for you, so you can hear how much we loved each other through these songs.”

Carey opted to play a sentimental set during Friday’s show, saying that he could “never hear these songs again without thinking of her.”

The host went on to add that he would be taking a couple of weeks off work because he feels in “no position to work or entertain anybody right now.”

Since Harwick’s death, friends have expressed their previous fears over the sex therapist’s ex-boyfriend.

Police confirmed that Hawick, a specialist in family and sex counseling, had filed a restraining order against Pursehouse, but the restraining order had expired.

LAPD also confirmed Harwick had seen the man two weeks before her death.

According to reports, autopsy results showed the primary cause of Harwick’s death was blunt force injuries to the head and torso from a fall after an altercation.

There was also evidence of manual strangulation, the report said.

Harwick was found unresponsive beneath a third-story balcony at her home, Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement, adding her injuries were consistent with a fall.

She was taken to hospital, where she then died.

Pursehouse’s arraignment has been scheduled for March 4.
