Feldman 'not attending Corey Haim funeral'

Corey Feldman has reportedly announced that he will not be attending Corey Haim's funeral.

Speaking to ET Online, Feldman explained that he has spent time with Haim's family following his death but wishes to respect their need for privacy at his funeral.

"In the days following my best friend Corey Haim's death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me," he said.

"I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey's funeral, however due to their strong religious beliefs, and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey's funeral on Tuesday a small private affair."

He continued to say that "understanding the recent media attention and to be respectful of the family's wishes I have decided not to attend. Instead I will remain in Los Angeles quietly mourning and planning his memorial".

Feldman also asked the media to "honour" Haim's memory by avoiding the funeral, and added that he is hoping to hold a memorial for him within the next month.

"At that time, the media will be invited to honour and celebrate the legacy he has left behind, along with friends, fans, and the rest of the Hollywood community," he said.

Haim passed away on March 10, aged 38.
