Zendaya made history on Monday night as she became the youngest two-time Emmy Award winner for acting. The Dune star, 26, took home the coveted Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series gong for her performance as addiction-plagued teen Rue Bennett in HBO's Euphoria.

She delivered an emotional acceptance speech that touched on her "greatest wish" for the coming-of-age drama, as well as how the vulnerability of Euphoria fans has inspired her on and off the screen.

"My greatest wish for Euphoria was that it could help heal people," said the Spider-Man: No Way Home star, who appeared to be holding back tears as she looked out on the crowd of her peers. Watch Zendaya's speech below!

"I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know that I am so grateful for your stories.And I carry them with me, and I carry them with her."

Along with being the youngest-ever two-time honoree, she is also the first Black woman in history to take home the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series award twice, as reported by Variety.
