The funeral for Brittany Murphy was held at twilight on Thursday.

The actress' mother Sharon, husband Simon Monjack and close friends attended the invite-only ceremony at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in L.A. Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti, did not attend the funeral.

In July, a private memorial service for Michael Jackson was also held at Forest Lawn in L.A. Other stars buried there include Bette Davis, Lucille Ball, Freddie Prinze and John Ritter.

The "Girl, Interrupted" star died Sunday after reportedly suffering cardiac arrest. The official cause of death is pending results of toxicology tests. She was 32.

Rest In Peace Brittany

Hands down my favorite actress. Uptown Girls has always been in my room and now it’s just heart breaking to even see it laying on my desk everyday. Nothing to be sad about though your in MUCH better hands now!
