Murphy was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. PT Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Sally Stewart told CNN Radio.

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the death, and robbery and homicide detectives will be at her home, LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eisenman said. No other details were immediately available.

"In this time of sadness, the family thanks you for your love and support," Murphy's publicist, Nicole Perna, said in a statement. "It is their wish that you respect their privacy."

Murphy starred in several movies, including "Just Married," "Don't Say a Word" and "Riding in Cars with Boys." She also voiced the character Luanne on the animated TV series "King of the Hill."

Clueless

She is survived by her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, whom she married in 2007.

Fans took to Murphy's official Facebook page Sunday to issue their condolences.

"She was a great actress and was going to go far in her career! She will be greatly missed!" read one post.

Murphy's former boyfriend and "Just Married" co-star Ashton Kutcher posted his reaction to the news via Twitter.

"2day the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out 2 Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon," Kutcher posted.

He added later: "see you on the other side kid."

Singer-actress Jessica Simpson tweeted: "Brittany Murphy was an incredible ray of Light to so many people. Her smile was contagious. My prayers are with her family and loved ones."

Actress Alyssa Milano, who did a USO tour with Murphy in 2003, wrote on Twitter: "She was a sweet soul, with a lot of talent and heart."

Murphy was best known for her work in a string of romantic comedies in the early 2000s, including lead roles in "Uptown Girls" alongside fellow Georgia native Dakota Fanning, and "Little Black Book" with Holly Hunter and Kathy Bates.

In addition to her "King of the Hill" role, she lent her voice to a number of animated works including the TV series "Futurama" and the 2006 hit movie "Happy Feet."

Her work as troubled teenagers in "Don't Say a Word" and "Girl, Interrupted" also gained her critical acclaim.

Murphy was the subject of tabloid gossip after she transformed from a pudgy brunette in 1995's "Clueless" to a petite, lithe blonde who graced the cover of such magazines as Cosmopolitan in 2005. She frequently denied rumors of an eating disorder and plastic surgery.

Her love life also was fodder for gossip sites as she broke two engagements in 2004 and 2006, then married Monjack after only four months of dating.

"All these ridiculous people came out and said all this nonsense when we got married, [but] thank God we had the substance and the history within that to [say], 'Yeah, whatever!' " Monjack told People magazine in a 2008 interview. "We still don't understand what happened. It's made us laugh, it's made us cry, but it's made us stronger."

メモリアルイヤーの今年、オリコン年間ランキングで史上初の４冠を達成するなど快進撃中の嵐が大舞台を席巻する。

　井上啓輔チーフプロデューサー（ＣＰ）によると、デビュー曲「Ａ・ＲＡ・ＳＨＩ」から今年発売のヒット曲「Ｂｅｌｉｅｖｅ」を織り交ぜてのメドレー。詳細は「中身を詰めている最中」としたが、嵐は今年のオリコンランキングでシングル・アルバム・ミュージックＤＶＤ・トータルセールスの４冠をゲット。中でもシングル部門は「Ｂｅｌｉｅｖｅ／曇りのち、快晴」「明日の記憶／Ｃｒａｚｙ　Ｍｏｏｎ～キミ・ハ・ムテキ～」「マイガール」がトップ３を独占。総売り上げも５０１．６万枚と名実ともに圧倒的人気を見せつけただけに、数々のヒット曲で盛り上げてくれそうだ。

　また、ジャニーズ事務所の先輩、ＳＭＡＰは新曲「そっと　きゅっと」に加え、「昨今、世代を超えて歌える数少ない曲」（井上ＣＰ）として大ヒット曲「世界に一つだけの花」の２曲をメドレー形式で歌う。０３年の紅白では大トリで「世界－」を披露。０７年はフィナーレに出演者全員で同曲を大合唱しただけに、今年のトリにも期待が掛かるが、同ＣＰは「トリは未定。歌唱順にかかわることで曲は選んでいない」と明言をさけた。

　さらに、同事務所の後輩で今年７月にＣＤデビューした、全員平成生まれのＮＹＣ　ｂｏｙｓは「紅白６０回記念」と題し、デビュー曲「ＮＹＣ」のほか、昭和の名曲に挑戦する。「６０回記念なので、昭和の名曲を入れたスペシャルなもの。楽曲は選定中」と井上ＣＰ。次代の歌謡界を担う同ユニットが名曲をどう歌うか注目だ。

　ここ数年、同事務所所属のアーティストは２組出場していたが、今年は４組に倍増。老若男女に人気のジャニーズタレントによるメドレーで高視聴率獲得なるか！？
