Dakota Fanning Remembers Brittany Murphy

I just love Dakota Fanning and I hope she remains down to earth and grounded.

Brittany Murphy and Dakota were co-stars in Uptown Girls and Dakota issued the following statement about Ms. Murphy:

"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 know how strong Brittany's love was for her family and my heart goes out to all of them, especially her mother Sharon. I love you Brittany."

It's nice to see that Dakota cares. She didn't have to say anything at all, nor did she have to issue such a personal statement. This was really sweet of Dakota.
