O’Neal’s attorney revealed to People that his client was granted temporary permission to leave prison in order to attend Fawcett’s funeral.
For one day, the 24-year-old would be allowed to leave the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, California, where he has been serving a sentence for violating probation resulting from a drug case.
The ceremony will take place in utmost privacy, far from the public and media, at the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Los Angeles at 4:00 today.
Fawcett, who was famous for her role in Charlie’s Angels, died of cancer last Thursday (June 25).
