Savannah Guthrie returned to the ‘Today’ show studio on Thursday morning for the first time since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing in a suspected abduction.

“Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning 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,” a ‘Today’ show spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Video obtained by TMZ showed an emotional Savannah Guthrie hugging colleagues while visiting the morning show set.

An emotional TODAY host Jenna Bush Hager told viewers Thursday that, “She said that she has the intention to return to the show. Even though it feels like the hardest thing to do, it’s also her home and where she feels so loved.”

“Whenever [she is] ready, we are here,” co-host Sheinelle Jones said.

“I’m proud of Savannah, and I’m rooting for Savannah. And I know the strength that it would take to even just come in here and to be amongst all of us,” Jones said. “And so I see it as we’re in this storm, and we’re not out of the storm, but there’s a light somewhere even in the midst of the storm.”

“She said the yellow flowers and the pins, all of your prayers. She feels them. She depends on them,” Bush said.

Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been abducted from her home in the early hours of Feb. 1. Yellow flowers, handwritten notes, artwork and even an open letter addressed to the “kidnapper” have been left at the makeshift tribute in front of her home.

Savannah, her sister Annie, and brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, placed flowers at the growing tribute near the foot of Nancy’s driveway on Monday in a somber visit to the crime scene. Authorities have not publicly identified a suspect, vehicle or any persons of interest.
