Dakota Fanning posts tribute to the late Brittany Murphy

Actress Dakota Fanning, now 19, posted a touching tribute to the late Brittany Murphy, who died in 2009. The two co-starred in 2003’s Uptown Girls.

Fanning posted a picture collage on Instagram, writing in the caption “Still thinking about you every day! I miss you! #RIP.” In front of a heart, Fanning wrote the words “Super Woman.”

According to NY Daily News, Fanning passed away from pneumonia at the age of 32. An autopsy did reveal prescription drugs were also a factor in her death.

At the time of her death, Fanning said in a statement "I got to know Brittany when we made the film Uptown Girls. We became great friends despite the fact we were many years apart in age. Brittany had such a warm child-like spirit that drew people to her. With her goes a piece of my heart and I will miss her terribly. …I love you Brittany."

Fanning was only 9 years old when they shot the movie.
