Chely Wright remembers the USO tour to Iraq she and Brittany Murphy took in 2003. On her Facebook page, Chely says:

“Brittany Murphy and I did a USO Tour to Iraq in 2003. She was really excited to see the troops to say thanks and even worked up a couple of songs to sing with the band. Her mom, Sharon, went with us on the trip. They were connected at the hip and proud to call one another “best friend”.

Chely adds that “Brittany was a free spirit, for sure, very nice, laughed a lot, and showed a genuine interest in others.” and says that Brittany’s death at 32 is “really sad news.”
