Kelly Osbourne attend Amy Winehouse funeral‎

Three days after the shocking death of Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson and Kelly Osbourne—with her hair styled into a beehive—joined the Winehouse family as they mourned the loss of the influential singer at a private funeral service Tuesday in London. The service, which was held at London’s Edgwarebury Cemetery, lasted about an hour and was expected to be followed by a cremation and a gathering of family and close friends.

As we previously reported, the 27-year-old singer was found dead in her London apartment Saturday afternoon.

We also said that fellow artists, collaborators, friends and fans were speaking out about her passing. Ronson, a friend and the producer of Winehouse’s sophomore album, “Back to Black,” expressed his sadness about her sudden death via Twitter. “she was my musical soulmate & like a sister to me. this is one of the saddest days of my life,” he posted Saturday.

Osbourne, another one of Winehouse’s closest friends, took to Twitter to express her feelings as well. “i miss my friend! im going to be off twitter for a while thank you for all your support! #pray4amy” she tweeted along with a photo of the two of them together. She was shocked by the death because Winehouse seemed “absolutely fine” when they spoke on the phone the day before she died, reported the International Business Times.

In addition to Ronson and Osbourne, Reg Traviss, Amy’s most recent boyfriend, and many of her band members also attended the service according to E! Online. Her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was unable to attend because he is currently serving a 32-month prison sentence for burglary and firearm possession.

Mitch Winehouse, the singer’s father, gave a eulogy that celebrated her life. “Mitch was funny, he told some great stories from childhood about how headstrong she was, and clearly the family and friends recognized the stories and laughed along,” family spokesman Chris Goodman said in a statement. “He stressed so many times she was happier now than she had ever been and he spoke about her boyfriend and paid tribute to a lot of people in her life.”
