Actress Brittany Murphy Dead At 32

"8 Mile" Actress Brittany Murphy has died at the age of 32, according to media reports. The celebrity news website TMZ says someone placed a 911 call from a home belonging to Murphy's husband Simon Monjack Sunday morning. Murphy was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where she was pronounced dead. There were no further details available. Neither police nor the coroner's office have confirmed the death. Murphy is perhaps best known for her roles in "Sin City," "Girl, Interrupted," "Clueless," "8 Mile," and voicing a character in the animated penguin tale "Happy Feet." Three of her movies, including "The Expendables" starring Sylvester Stallone, are in post-production. Despite those films, there had been reports Murphy's career had hit some obstacles this year. Earlier this month, a publicist for Murphy denied she was fired from the set of the film "The Caller." She was replaced by former "Twilight" actress Rachelle Lefevre. Less than an hour after the story first broke, the search term "RIP Brittany Murphy" was already the second most popular topic on Twitter. Last month, her husband was hospitalized after he experienced a medical condition on a plane that landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
