Actress Farrah Fawcett has succumbed to cancer, passing away in the early hours of the morning with her long-time companion, Ryan O’Neal at her side.
The 62-year-old, most known for her role in the television series Charlie’s Angels, died in hospital shortly before 1:30 a.m. (AEST), according to reports.
Fawcett’s publicist Arnold Robinson released a statement on O’Neal’s behalf:
“After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away.
“Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world.”
O’Neal spoke with People magazine after the statement was released, telling them that he talked with Fawcett throughout the night.
“She’s now with her mother and sister and her God,” he said. “I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night.
“I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now.”
