'The older she gets, the more I can do to tell her what happened that day and what happened to someone that I loved,' she told US this week.
'She has grown up knowing about Andy.'
The former Extra correspondent said the last time she visited the now-rebuilt One World Trade Center was on the tenth anniversary of the attacks, while adding that is difficult for her to bear.

Uchitel was the top mistress in sex addict golfer Woods' long list of women in 2009.
Uchitel initially denied allegations about the affair and rumors she was paid a sum of money to keep quiet - until after more than a dozen other ladies came forward.
The bombshell at the time developed a prescription addiction and admitted she took Ambien with the famous golfer.
Woods and Uchitel reportedly took Ambien for recreation and to enhance their sex life, according to Radar Online, who obtained a related text thread between the two.

Uchitel began filming Celebrity Rehab With Dr Drew in 2010 but stormed off the show just one week into filming.
The onetime mistress to Woods first appeared in an episode that aired in early December that year after she had as much as she took take with rambunctious roommate and former model, Janice Dickinson.
Dr Drew told Uchitel that leaving early could be a disaster for her road to recovery.
She was rumored to have been paid $500,000 to appear on the rehab show.
