Posting just hours after Building The Band dropped on Netflix, Nicola wrote: '9 months ago today, our lives changed forever.
'I still find it incredibly hard to process what happened.
'I'm not sure I ever fully will, or even want to.
'Liam, you are the most incredible person. For those of us lucky enough to know and love you, our lives were truly blessed.
'Today, the world gets to see just a glimpse of your passion and talent and wow, you are amazing in this show.'
She continued: 'You cared so deeply about the people around you. You wanted to make a difference, and you are lighting up that stage like you were born to do.
'You were made to be a judge, to guide, to encourage, and to let your voice be heard. Watching you in this show, I've never been more proud.
'I just wish you got to see it. It's everything we knew it would be when we were at filming.'
Nicola revealed how emotional the project had become, writing: 'This show will forever hold a special place in my heart because it's one of the last times I saw you, and I got to witness you shine so bloody brightly, but it's also allowed me to still feel close to you.
"I love you so much, and I miss you even more. I hate that this happened.'
Liam Payne's sister calls star 'her angel' in emotional tribute saying 'we will make sure Bear knows about his daddy'
The Netflix series was filmed before Liam's sudden passing and dropped on the platform on July 9.
It sees Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean host the competition alongside lead mentor Nicole Scherzinger, with Kelly Rowland and Liam joining as guest judges.
Fans were left in tears just five minutes into the first episode after the show aired a moving tribute to Liam.
AJ McLean opened the series with a powerful message:
'When we came together to film Building The Band, we never imagined we'd soon be saying goodbye to our friend Liam Payne.'
The screen then faded to a montage of clips and images of the singer, with AJ continuing: 'Liam is a guest judge in later episodes, and through his presence, we see his deep love for music and his unwavering commitment to helping others find their voice. I
"It's through that spirit that we dedicate this series to Liam and his family.'
It comes hours after Liam's girlfriend Kate Cassidy broke down in an emotional video as she sent a heartfelt message to the late star.
She poured her heart out on TikTok and admitted she worried Liam wouldn't recognise her if they met again in the afterlife.
'Today marks nine months since Liam has left this world,' she said in the video.
'I don't know if this is just a message for myself, or for Liam, or for anybody that's navigating through grief that needs to hear this.'
Fighting back sobs, Kate told followers she had recently cut her hair, got new tattoos, and pierced her ears.
She added: 'Liam's never seen me with hair this short. He's never seen me with all these tattoos.
'And then I start thinking deeper into it… I don't know how heaven works, but is Liam going to look the same way that he looked the last time I saw him?'
Kate - who dated Liam for two years and lived with him - said one day, when she's old, Liam might not recognise her.
'When my time comes, will Liam recognise me? I'm going to have wrinkles, white hair, bony hands… how will he find me?'
The heartbreaking thought left her in tears, but she recalled a comforting moment with a friend who reassured her: 'Of course he's going to recognise you… he's going to be so glad you lived.'

Oasis to rock London for the first time in more than 16 years

After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, the group, fronted by Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel, will take to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium on Friday. The rock band announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. A post shared by Oasis (@oasis) With five nights scheduled, the group posted door and stage timings on their Instagram account with an hour-by-hour breakdown of the evening, starting with the gates opening at 5pm. The night will kick off from 6pm with the rock band Cast, followed by singer Richard Ashcroft at 7pm. Oasis will then take the stage for a two-hour set at 8.15pm. The group kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, receiving five star reviews from critics at The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times. The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company. While fans were excited at the reunion, some were outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After their final London gig on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band was led by lead guitarist Noel and lead vocalist Liam during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.
