Anne Burrell’s friends and family members gathered for the late Food Network star’s wake after her death at age 55.

The somber event took place in New York City on Friday, June 20, per photos obtained by Page Six. Burrell’s husband, Stuart Claxton, was in attendance, along with celebrity chefs Scott Conant, Amanda Freitag and Marc Murphy. The Real Housewives of New York City alum Kelly Bensimon and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy’s Carson Kressley also paid their respects.

Burrell’s family confirmed her death to Us Weekly on Tuesday, June 17. The New York Police Department later confirmed that the chef had been pronounced dead at the scene after being discovered “unresponsive” in her apartment. A cause of death is not yet known.

“Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered,” Burrell’s family said in a statement. “Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.”

Burrell is survived by Claxton and stepson Javier, as well as her mother, Marlene, and sister, Jane.
