She was 32.
TMZ reports that 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, according to the Los Angeles City Fire Department.
Murphy was pronounced dead on arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center according to attorney Harvey Levin's website TMZcom.
It was previously reported that Brittany Murphy was fired from director Matthew Parkhill's "The Caller" a few weeks ago. The film was shooting in Puerto Rico, and Murphy was released for allegedly being difficult on the set.
Perez Hilton was the first one to break this story on November 30th.
According to Perez Hilton:
“Our source also tell us that Brittany was so pissed about getting booted from the film that she didn’t want to leave Puerto Rico and had plans to sabotage the film. But here’s the really inneresting part. Her husband, Simon Monjack, got into a fight with some locals, which makes us wonder: could there be a connection between this whole Puerto Rico incident and her hubby arriving at the El Lay airport ‘incoherent’???”
Murphy's replacement on "The Caller" was "Twilight" actress Rachelle Lefevre.
Murphy starred in such films as "Clueless," "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word."
