The 32-year-old musician was one of six victims whose lives were cut short when two choppers collided in Brazil.
Chernavskaya paid tribute to her boyfriend on Instagram, sharing intimate photos from throughout their relationship.
She wrote, 'To my best friend: We traveled to 43 countries, and all 7 continents together. The magic, inspiration and joy you brought to my life and others, will never be forgotten or replaced.'
The fashion stylist added, 'You’d always tell me when we argued, if things don’t work out in this lifetime, you will find me in the next,' before ending the heart-wrenching note, 'I love you buggy.'
In a separate post shared via Instagram Stories, she slammed 'gossip' and asked for privacy as she mourns.

'Please have respect for my privacy. We kept our relationship very intimate,' she detailed over a photo of Tree smiling.
The grieving girlfriend continued, 'What I really don't need is to see gossip about other women that Oliver may have been seeing, we were monogamous.
'Right now I'm mourning my partner and best friend, anything else is unimportant. Please have some respect.'
Chernavskaya also thanked fans for 'all the kind words' she's received.
She wrote, 'I appreciate every ounce of support at this time. There are so many who have been affected by his passing, please show them love too.'

According to TMZ, the 30-year-old singer-songwriter took a moment to remember the Life Goes On artist's music and heart, emphasizing how loved he was.
The outlet said Malone, born Austin Post, also poured out a beer in his memory.

Tree's ex-girlfriend, singer Melanie Martinez, previously acknowledged his death online.
She wrote in a June 14 Instagram Story: 'Been an absolute wreck today. It's hard to understand how someone who you once shared such a specific and formative time of your life with can all of a sudden be gone.'
In addition to Tree, producer Lucas Vignale, YouTube star Gaspi, producer Lucas Frota, and pilots Alexandre Souza and Charles Marsillac died.
Music producer Victor Wao narrowly escaped death when he made a last minute decision not to take the helicopter flight due to his fear of flying; Vignale instead arranged for him to travel by car, per the New York Post.
He paid tribute to his friends and collaborators, Tree and Lucas Frota, in an Instagram post.
In Portuguese, he wrote in an Instagram post dedicated to Frota, 'THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST FRIEND I COULD ASK GOD FOR! I will always remember you with that smile on your face that enchanted everyone! I love you, See you on the other side @iamlucasfrota @frotographs_ I love you forever.'
