Mourners gather to pay tribute to Jim Carrey's girlfriend Cathriona White ahead of funeral
MOURNERS have gathered in Cathriona White's hometown to bid goodbye to her ahead of the funeral tomorrow.
Cathriona White tragically died after an apparent suicide
The 30-year-old make-up artist was tragically found dead at her home in Los Angeles on Monday, following a suspected suicide.
This evening, hundreds of mourners assembled outside of White's Funeral Directors in Cappawhite, County Tipperary, to pay their respects to Jim Carrey's late on-off girlfriend.
Locals, neighbours and friends gathered outside Cathriona's grandfather's funeral directors as her family shook hands with grievers.
A death notice said she was sadly missed by her sisters and brothers Lisa, James, Larina, Sarah and Tadhg, her stepmother Brid, mother Brigid, grandmother Lily, grandfather James and extended family members and a wide circle of friends.
The coffin was carried by Cathriona’s family
The funeral mass will take place tomorrow morning at Our Lady Of Fatima Church, in Cappawhite, and subsequently Cathriona will be laid to rest next to her father Pat in the village cemetery.
Cathriona's father lost his 20-year battle with brain cancer back in 2012.
The 53-year-old Hollywood actor will reportedly fly to Ireland in time for tomorrow's service.
A source told the Sunday People: "Jim has been left devastated after the tragic death of Cathriona.
Mourners lined the streets to say goodbye
"Attending her funeral in Ireland will be the least he could do to pay tribute to the woman he loved."
Breaking his silence after the devastating news, the father-of-one said he was "truly saddened" by the loss.
He explained: "I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of my sweet Cathriona.

She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower
"She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled.
"My heart goes out to her family and friends and to everyone who loved and cared about her. We have all been hit with a lightning bolt."
A memorial service attended by some of her friends and family was held in Los Angeles earlier this week at the Zorthian Ranch in Altadena, California.
