Nicky Hilton has directed Twitter followers to the memorial fund set up for Casey Johnson on the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s website.
Hilton tweeted five hours ago: “Donate to the Casey Johnson Memorial at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. http://tinyurl.com/ya5gyot.”
The Johnson&Johnson heiress has been laid to rest at a family property in New Brunswick, New Jersey, according to press reports.
She had juvenile-onset diabetes and was insulin-dependent. Her body was discovered last Monday after she died alone at the guest house of her Hollywood home, aged 30. Hilton and Johnson were childhood friends.
The foundation stated: “[The] Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation family mourns the passing of Casey Johnson. The Johnsons have always been an integral part of JDRF, and our deepest sympathy is extended to the entire family. You can make a donation to JDRF in memory of Casey Johnson, which will fund research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.”
While autopsy results are pending for Johnson, the 911 call made by a maid who discovered her reveals her medication often got “screwed up”.
