Actor Jim Carrey twice carried the coffin at his ex-girlfriend's funeral yesterday as she was taken to her final resting place beside her late father in Co Tipperary in Ireland.

Cathriona White, remembered as a loving 'daddy's girl' who wanted the world to be a better place, was found in her Los Angeles home late last month after a suspected suicide.

Carrey dated the 30-year-old make-up artist in 2012 and they were pictured hand in hand in New York earlier this year.

The Hollywood star fought back tears and walked with his arms around Cathriona White's sister Lisa as hundreds of family and friends gathered to mourn her death at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima.
