Anne Heche smiled with friends in her haunting final Instagram post before a horrific car crash left her with fatal brain damage before her life support was switched off.
The actress, 53, who ploughed her car into a house last Friday, died on Friday August 12.
Just weeks before the crash, she shared a snap of her beside fellow actor pals Joey Lawrence, Andrew Lawrence and Samantha Cope Lawrence, with the caption: "Good times on set with Lawrence Bros!"
She wore white jeans with an open pink blouse and a fuchsia cardigan.
The writer and director beamed as she cuddled up to her pals.
Weeks later, her heartbroken friend Nancy Davis confirmed her death in a heartbreaking Instagram statement, after Anne was involved in a horrific car accident which left her brain dead.
Nancy wrote: "Heaven has a new Angel. My loving, kind, fun, endearing and beautiful friend @anneheche went to heaven. I will miss her terribly and cherish all the beautiful memories we have shared.
"Anne was always the kindest, most thoughtful person who always brought out the best in me … My heart is broken."
Shortly after the crash her family broke the news that she was in a coma and had a severe brain injury.
"Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne Heche suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition. She is not expected to survive," the statement read.
"It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable."
The statement continued: "Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit.
"More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life's work – especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love.
"She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light."
The family also showed their appreciation to the "dedicated staff and wonderful nurses" at the Grossman Burn Centre at West Hills Hospital.
