Russian online newspaper gazeta.ru reported that several hours before she died, Brittany Murphy attended a VIP party in Rublevka, a luxury suburb outside of Moscow. Milla Jovovich and other celebrities were also at attendance, according to gazeta.ru.

The newspaper reported that Russian banker and entertainer Igor Desyatnikov hosted the party at his Rublyovka estate. Desyatnikov is producing several films in the US, including "You and I", starring Mischa Barton. Several high profile guests, including model Sasha Pivovarova, allegedly confirmed that Murphy attended the party.

Brittany Murphy died 12 hours after leaving Moscow. It takes about 10 to 12 hours to get to Los Angeles from Moscow by private jet.

Igor Desyatnikov denied that such a party took place. In a statement he said that "he does not know Murphy and did not host any secret celebrity parties".
