The latest Dancing With the Stars elimination has been a tough one for everyone to accept.

Following Danielle Fishel and partner Pasha Pashkov's elimination from season 34 of the ABC series on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-themed episode, Pasha's wife and fellow DWTS pro Daniella Karagach expressed her disappointment.

"Well, Pasha's my husband, and Danielle literally is family now," she exclusively told E! News following the Nov. 4 episode. "It's not fun to see anyone go home, but to see your husband and someone who's been working so hard go home is just like—it sucks."

Daniella's partner Dylan Efron echoed those sentiments, adding that he and the Boy Meets World alum grew close over the course of the competition.

"We really bonded over the fact that we had no dancing experience," he told E! News. "We were both just putting in overtime, so I'm really going to miss her. This is a hard one."

While Daniella, 32, will miss competing against her husband in the ballroom, she will still have him in her corner as a person to bounce ideas off of, sharing that they "always" help one another with each other's dances.

"He's literally about to help me with my next dance right now right after the show," she explained. "We're always helping each other out. It's the best to come home and brainstorm together."

For Dylan, though, their closeness reminded him of just how much difficult this elimination will be for them.

"That's the hardest part," the Traitors star, 33, noted. "We really did spend a lot of time together because of Pasha and Daniella. Danielle really feels like family."

As for how Danielle, 44, and Pasha, 39, the duo reacted to receiving the lowest number of votes with absolute grace.

"It's meant everything," the actress said of her time on DWTS after their elimination. "It has truly been life-changing and every single moment including this one has been joyous."

Meanwhile, Pasha told her, "You are now my friend for life."
