Actor Jim Carrey has laid his ex-girlfriend Cathriona White to rest over the weekend in Ireland.

The Hollywood actor helped bear the coffin alongside five others – including White’s brother, James – from the service to the burial grounds.

Hundreds of family and friends gathered at the memorial service outside Our Lady of Fatima Church in the small village of Cappawhite in Country Tiperrary.

On the same day, he also posted a tribute to her on Twitter.

“Love cannot be lost,” he wrote.

White was found dead on September 28. She and Carrey had dated on and off since reportedly meeting in 2012.

“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 actor said in a statement upon hearing of her death. “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.”
