Jim Carrey has released a statement after being sued for wrongful death by the estranged husband of his late girlfriend Cathriona White.

A coroner previously ruled that Cathriona, a native of Tipperary, took her own life Los Angeles last September, but Mark Burton, who was still married to Cathriona at the time of her death, has contradicted the ruling.

Filing a case against Jim Carrey, Burton claims Mr. Carrey provided Cathriona with prescription medication, saying: "Carrey wrongfully and illegally obtained these drugs in clear violation of California law."

Further to this, he accused Carrey of trying to "conceal and obfuscate his involvement and culpability in Miss White's untimely and tragic death".

Speaking out in the aftermath of the legal filing, the 54-year-old actor released a statement denying all accusations.

"What a terrible shame. It would be easy for me to get in a back room with this man's lawyer and make this go away, but there are some moments in life when you have to stand up and defend your honor against the evil in this world," it read.

"I will not tolerate this heartless attempt to exploit me or the woman I loved. Cat's troubles were born long before I met her and sadly her tragic end was beyond anyone's control," the star insisted.

"I really hope that some day soon people will stop trying to profit from this and let her rest in peace," he added.

Speaking to E!, legal expert, Troy Slaten, offered his assessment of the case, saying: "To prevail in this civil wrongful death lawsuit, the plaintiff must prove that Jim Carrey was the 'proximate cause' of this woman's death."

"In order for the police to investigate Jim Carrey on this matter, they have to believe that, one, a crime occurred and, two, Carrey likely committed the crime." Troy continued.

"After the police fully investigate a case, they present it to the district attorney with a recommendation. It's up to the district attorney to decide whether and what kind of criminal charges are to be filed."

"Even if Jim Carrey loses this lawsuit, he does not face any jail time arising out of this civil litigation." he added.

When the plane landed, Selma was rushed to hospital for emergency care.

Today, however, the actress released a statement apologising for her behaviour.

"I made a big mistake yesterday. After a lovely trip with my son and his Dad, I mixed alcohol with medication, and that caused me to black out and led me to say and do things that I deeply regret.

"My son was with his Dad asleep with his headphones on, so there is that saving grace," she said.

"I take this very seriously, and I apologise to all of the passengers and crew that I disturbed and am thankful to all of the people who helped me in the aftermath.

Fans of Jim Carrey have been taking to social media this evening to express their shock at the passing of his girlfriend, Cathriona White.

The 28-year-old Tipperary-native had moved to Hollywood in 2009 to work as a make-up artist and had met the high-profile actor on a movie set in 2012.

Sadly, reports from the US this afternoon say that Ms White has taken her own life.

According to TMZ, she was found dead by friends last night and it has been furthermore reported that she had left a suicide note addressed to Mr Carrey.

Now, in a heartfelt statement, Jim has responded to the tragedy.

“I am shocked and deeply saddened by the passing of my sweet Cathriona,” he said.

“She was a truly kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil, to whom loving and being loved was all that sparkled.”

The 53-year-old added: “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.”

Just a week ago, the talented make-up artist had dined at Malibu's upmarket Nobu restaurant. 

Ms White also recently travelled to Canada – taking to Instagram to thank the Irish consulate in San Franciso for renewing her passport promptly. And earlier this year, she had shared a snap of her proudly wearing her Tipperary hurling jersey around LA. 

Her most recent post was from just five days ago when she uploaded a wind-swept black-and-white snap for her 7,500 followers. 

Underneath the image, people have this evening been leaving their condolences.

"Sweet Dreams @littleirishcat may flights of angels sing you to your rest xxx shocked," one sympathiser wrote. 

Another said, "RIP young lady. May you find peace at last."

Meanwhile a third person stated: "At dheis Dé go bhfuil a anam. Had the pleasure of playing football with Caitríona, she was a loyal, kind and caring girl.

"Her heart was always in the right place. So sorry to hear of her loss my sympathies to all family and friends xx Rest in peace a stór."

Victoria Beckham must have been quite embarrassed this week as not only did her son get thrown out of a nightclub but she also stepped out of her Dover street store at 3.45am with a really weird wet patch on her groin.

The incident took place on Tuesday night, where she was celebrating the one year anniversary of her London clothing store. 

The fashion mogul left her party, clutching husband David Beckham very tightly, as the paparazzi snapped away. 

But now Victoria's rep made a statement about the dodgy incident: 

"This was simply the result of the most unfortunate positioning of a spilt drink, whilst Victoria was sitting down – thankfully it was not a 'dampener' on what was a fantastic night."

Fair enough Vicky, all the gossip can stop now!

A little more than 24-hours after Rory McIlroy told the world about his “mutual” breakup with Caroline Wozniacki, the tennis star broke her silence by tweeting to her 614,000 followers.

Golfing star Rory called off the couple’s engagement after admitting to getting cold feet once the ‘save the date’ invites were sent out.

OUCH!

Caroline took to Twitter after the announcement saying, “It’s a hard time for me right now. Thanks for all the sweet messages! Happy I support Liverpool right now because I know I’ll never walk alone”

Hold your head up high Caroline!

Caroline also changed her Twitter avatar and bio, removing the word ‘fiancée’ to reflect her changed relationship status.

The couple got engaged on News Year’s eve after three years of dating, and 23-year-old Caroline had been planning a summer wedding to her beau.

It was also reported that Rory would not be asking for the €150,000 engagement ring back.

Although 25-year-old Rory is worth an estimated €30m so it won’t leave him too short!
