Philip Seymour Hoffman Funeral: Loved Ones Gather To Say Their Final Goodbyes; 'Hunger Games' Star Writes Touching Tribute

Family and friends gathered at a New York City church on Friday to say their final goodbyes to actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The funeral was held at Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Manhattan, where Hoffman's longtime girlfriend Mimi O'Donnell and their three children, 10-year-old son Cooper, 7-year-old daughter Tallulah and 5-year-old daughter Willa, mourned their loss. The children were photographed in tears as O'Donnell looked visibly shaken.

"Other famous attendees also found it difficult to contain their feelings -- Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Williams left together, both wearing dark sunglasses. Michelle held her hand over her mouth," TMZ reports.

Hoffman, 46, was found dead in his New York City apartment on Feb. 2 of an alleged overdose. The cast of "The Hunger Games" mourned the death of the actor, and "Catching Fire" actress Jena Malone took to her Instagram account to honor Hoffman in a touching tribute.

"There won't ever be enough flowers in the world to shower you with once you are lost to me. But why wait for separation to herald the beauty in the world. So much beauty in the world it's blinding. And can be paralyzing. It can be terrifying. And yet we wake up each day and live. And keep living. In fear, in love , in madness. We keep living. And then one day we don't wake up. I don't want to wait for that day to bring you flowers.

"I want you to know I love you today. That you inspire me. That I am here for you. Cause maybe you haven't been reminded of your beauty in a long time. And all it takes is one person to reach out and be a mirror. Can we all just be a mirror and go out of our way everyday to support the human heart. That can go blind from too much beauty. Can we just try? #RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman."
