American actress Brittany Murphy, who died suddenly at age 32, was buried on Christmas Eve with a private ceremony at a cemetery in the Hollywood hills.
The star of hit films such as 'Clueless', 'Just Married' and '8 Mile' died Sunday of apparent cardiac arrest, but an official cause of death will not be released for several weeks as coroners await the results of toxicology tests.
Ms Murphy was laid to rest in a service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park with only a handful of family and friends.
Ms Murphy's husband, screenwriter Simon Monjack, has shot down suggestions that drugs were responsible for his wife's demise, in an interview Tuesday with People magazine. He said instead that she had been ill for several days before her death.
TMZ.com, the entertainment website that broke the news earlier this year of the death of Michael Jackson, who is also buried at Forest Lawn, reported that multiple prescription drugs were found at Murphy's home on Sunday.
The website cited notes made by an investigator from the Los Angeles County Coroner's office as the source of the information.
The cemetery where Murphy was interred is the final resting place of several Hollywood legends, including actors Bette Davis, Lucille Ball, Gene Autry and Buster Keaton.
