Brittany Murphy, who passed away very suddenly last weekend in her SoCal home, was laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park here in Los Angeles last night in a twilight ceremony attended by family and close friends. The young actress was remembered as a “bright light” that touched all who knew her … a light that was taken from the world far too soon:

Brittany Murphy’s husband described how he had lost his ‘best friend and soul mate’ as the actress was laid to rest in a Christmas Eve service. Friends and family gathered at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park – the cemetery where Michael Jackson was buried – and said words could not express their devastation at the 32-year-old’s passing. Her family said in a statement ‘Brittany was an incredibly loving and passionate person and an artist to her core – she loved acting, singing, dancing, and performing.’ ‘A bright light that lit the world is forever dimmed, but will live on in the hearts of those that Brittany touched.’ The 8 Mile actress’s husband, British film director Simon Monjack, spoke about their relationship at the intimate gathering and said he had lost his best friend. Longtime family friend Alex Ben Block, who read the eulogy, said the service was ‘very nice, very respectful.’ Her close friends and her cousin also recalled their favourite memories of her. The afternoon service was presided over by a Christian minister and a rabbi presided, andguests sang ‘Amazing Grace’ at the grave site. Block said Murphy loved Christmas and that it was ironic that she was buried on Christmas Eve. Mr Block was one of the pall-bearers alongside ’24′ actor Eric Balfour. The Clueless star died on Sunday morning after collapsing at her Los Angeles home and suffering a cardiac arrest. Her father Angelo Bertolotti was not invited to her funeral, RadarOnline.com reported. Bertolotti had been estranged from Brittany and her mother for the past eight years. He told the website he was too sad to attend even if he had been invited. ‘I just don’t want to see that happen, I just want to remember her alive,’ he said. But he added he will go and visit her grave. ‘I’ll wait about a month to go out there,’ he said.

Brittany‘s sudden death is just too tragic for words. For her to pass away at such a young age, around the holidays … I cannot even imagine the pain that her family and loved ones are enduring right now. May she rest in eternal peace and may her family and friends heal quickly from this terrible loss.

While the world waits to hear the final official results of Brittany Murphy‘s autopsy and toxicology reports in the wake of her shocking death last weekend, producers of her final film Abandoned have released promo photos and video footage from the project. Here are a few promo photos of Brittany in Abandoned and some info about the newly released video footage:

Associated Press has got its hand on the first clip from psychological thriller “Abandoned”. Debuted on Tuesday, December 22, the 45-second snippet gives the first look at Brittany Murphy being evaluated by a doctor who doesn’t believe her memories are valid. The video also features a flashback as she recalls her moment in the past. In this indie film, Murphy stars as Mary, a woman who is convinced her husband Kevin has disappeared. As nobody believes her, Mary is fighting not only to find him but also to counter threats to her own life and sanity. Taking the role of Mary’s husband is Dean Cain. The film is additionally supported by Mimi Rogers who plays Markham, and Peter Bogdanovich who portrays Dr. Markus Bensley. Directed by Michael Feifer who also serves as producer, “Abandoned” is planned for 2010 release schedule in the U.S.

For the most part, I’ve been a big fan of Brittany‘s movies … as I mentioned before, I fell in love with her as Tai in Clueless back in 1995 and found myself enjoying her work in the years that followed (I was particularly impressed with her work in 8 Mile). The premise of his film sounds interesting, tho, I’m not sure that it is necessarily my cup of tea. After the jump, check out a vid clip from Abandoned and judge for yourselves if it’s a film that you might be interested in seeing …

Hollywood was shocked by the news yesterday that 32 year old actress Brittany Murphy died of cardiac arrest but today we may know why she died so suddenly. The autopsy of the young actress may have just gotten underway earlier today but the LA coroner has already announced that he believes that Murphy died of natural causes. It is being reported that Brittany was ill in the days leading up to her death but until the toxicology results are in we won’t know for sure if that illness or any controlled substance played a part in her death:

Brittany Murphy’s family said the actress was ill with flulike symptoms in the days before her death and prescription medications were taken from her home, the Los Angeles coroner’s office said Monday. The 32-year-old star of films such as “Clueless” and “8 Mile” died Sunday morning after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home. Paramedics tried to revive her, but she was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said they will conduct an autopsy Monday to try to determine what killed the actress, and said her death appeared to be from natural causes. He said the reported illness could have contributed to her death, but it will be weeks before a final determination is made. Toxicology tests will be performed, and officials will contact her personal physician to get a better sense of Murphy’s medical history, Winter said. Neighbor Clare Staples said she saw firefighters working to resuscitate the actress Sunday morning. She said Murphy was on a stretcher. Murphy’s husband, wearing pajama bottoms and no shoes, appeared “dazed” as firefighters tried to save her, Staples said. “It’s just tragic,” she added. Funeral arrangements have not been announced. “The sudden loss of our beloved Brittany is a terrible tragedy,” Murphy’s husband and family wrote in a statement. “She was our daughter, our wife, our love, and a shining star. We ask you to respect our privacy at this difficult time.”

There has been much speculation and conjecture surrounding the circumstances around Brittany‘s untimely death but until we know anything for certain, I think it’s wise and respectful to not jump to conclusions. If the coroner believes that she died of natural causes then there is no reason to believe otherwise … that is, until more concrete information is made available. I’m still pretty shocked that Brittany is gone … it is just a sad, tragic loss.

Shocking and very sad news to pass along today … TMZ is reporting that Brittany Murphy has passed away due to cardiac arrest! As is always the case with news this fresh, details are slim but here is what is being reported right now:

Brittany Murphy died early this morning after she went into full cardiac arrest and could not be revived, multiple sources tell TMZ. She was 32. A 911 call was made at 8:00 AM from a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to her husband, Simon Monjack, the Los Angeles City Fire Department tells TMZ. We’re told Murphy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Murphy starred in such films as “Clueless,” “8 Mile,” and “Don’t Say a Word.”

I cannot believe that this has happened :( I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about this as more details become available. For now, let’s send our love and condolences to the Murphy family for their loss. This is so tragic … rest well, Brittany.
