Mela Murphy, Farrah’s friend and hairdresser, was one of only four people present at the former Charlie’s Angels star’s hospital bedside before her death, on Thursday.
Alongside Farrah’s long-term partner Ryan O’Neal, her doctor and another close friend, she watched as the 62-year-old drew her last breaths at St John’s Health Centre, in Santa Monica, California.
"I’m so glad I was with her," Murphy told Radaronline.com. "She looked beautiful. She is beautiful and she has left a wonderful legacy."
Mela was one of Farrah’s closest supporters during her long and courageous cancer battle.
She said she is overcome with grief and devastated that Farrah lost her fight.
Choking back tears, she added: "It fills me with so much emotion. But I am glad that she called me her friend and allowed me to be there with her."
In addition to Mela, Ryan O’Neal, Alana Stewart and Dr. Lawrence Piro were with Farrah when she died.
