Acclaimed actress Brittany Murphy died at the age of 32 in Los Angeles today due to cardiac arrest. Her mother found her in the shower and called 911. Paramedics rushed her to Cedar Sinai where they tried to revive her. She was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. Her cardiac arrest might have been due to diabetes but that is not confirmed.

She got her start in the film “Clueless” alongside Alicia Silverstone and had made other noteworthy films such as “8 Mile” and “Don’t Say a Word”.

Brittany use to date Ashton Kutcher. Earlier today Ashton twittered about his ex, “2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out to Brittany’s family, her husband, and her amazing mother Sharon.” He added, “See you on the other side kid.”

Brittany’s husband Simon Monjack is distraught as is the whole family. It is being reported by TMZ that he doesn’t want Brittany to undergo an autopsy.

2009 has been huge for celebrity deaths. It’s very eerie.

Rest in peace angel Brittany. You were taken too soon.
