Late actress Brittany Murphy will be laid to rest in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park on December 24. Her body is already on the premises in anticipation of the event, which will take place without her father.

The service is “strictly private” and security guards will be on hand for the event. No plans regarding a more public memorial service have been released.

“I’m very upset by it,” explained Murpy’s father Angelo Bertolotti. “I can’t believe it really,” he said of his daughter’s untimely death. Bertolotti has never met Brittany’s husband Simon Monjack and had not spoken to his daughter in more than a year.

“I don’t want to see her that way,” he said of his decision not to attend his daughter’s burial service. “She was flawless to me.”
