American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has offered to help cover the costs of Ben Woolf's memorial service following the actor's tragic death.

Woolf passed away on Monday (23Feb15) after suffering a stroke, four days after the diminutive star was struck on the head by the wing mirror of a car as he crossed a street in Hollywood.

Murphy has reached out to the American Horror Story actor's father, Nick Woolf, and, along with bosses at the show's network Fx, has offered to pay for portions of the themed memorial, which is being held on 21 March (15) in Santa Barbara, California.

The entire cast of the series has been invited. Mourners attending the ceremony have been asked to wear red or blue, as they were Woolf's favourite colours.
