Yesterday, Lea was spotted out in public for the first time since news of Cory's death broke around the world. She was photographed In Los Angeles sitting in a car with a friend while wearing an all-black outfit and her favourite gold and crystal-encrusted 'Cory' necklace.

On Monday, Lea broke her Twitter silence, sharing an intimate picture of herself with Cory from her personal photo album, alongside a heartfelt message to her fans and supporters. She said: 'Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support. Cory will forever be in my heart.'
