Officials at the foundation set up in Brittany Murphy’s name following her death in December have vowed to hand back all donations – after reporters discovered it is not registered as an official charity. The Clueless star’s husband Simon Monjack created The Brittany Murphy Foundation in honor of the actress – who died of a cardiac arrest aged 32 – in a bid to raise funds for art education.

However TMZ.com reports that the foundation is in name only – as it has not legally registered as a charity with the state of California.

Following requests for comment by TMZ.com, the website was suspended on Friday before going back online – carrying the additional message, “(The foundation) is a private foundation. And is currently awaiting its non-profit status. Until we have our non-profit status approved before proceeding to insure that we can truly honor Brittany’s charitable desires… any donations made up until this point will be returned until we have all our paperwork solidified.”

Monjack had planned a charity gala for the launch of the Foundation earlier this month, charging $1,000 per individual and $10,000 for corporations to attend the event, but canceled the bash at the last minute.
