In a statement, the actor said that he was shocked and deeply saddened by the death of Cathriona.
In Carrey’s statement, he said Ms White was a “kind and delicate Irish flower, too sensitive for this soil.”.
The White family have landed in LA and are planning on burying Cathriona with her late father Pat, who died in 2012 after a 21-year battle with brain cancer. They rekindled their romance last May, but recently ended it for the second time.

According to Ortega’s article, White “originally got involved in Scientology about four to five years ago through members of musician Beck’s circle of friends”.
