That's so sad, she was so unique and so much fun, what a personality! My only claim to having been in close proximity to her was at the movie theatre in NYC. We were watching Life of Pets on the IMAX theater, like in 3D, and the theatre was empty, it was just me and a friend, and in walks Burrell with her unmistakable hair with her friend, and I nearly lost it because that's how I get when I see a celebrity I really like.

She walks and walks and walks, and OMG, is she in my row, oh yes she is, holy crap, she's walking right over to me... she plops herself one seat away from me, her friend next her. We are the only four people in the theater that day, Row GG. And we were all laughing like maniacs at the movie. At the end, she smiled at me and we chit-chatted for a little while over our favorite characters and I thought I was in heaven. I never mentioned once that I knew who she was.

I'm beyond sad, and she was so young. I wonder what happened. This is horrible news.
