EXCLUSIVE The eerie truth about 'Scientology city' where Julian McMahon died: It looks like a resort - but I felt watched from the day I arrived. Then, Kirstie Alley sent me a chilling message...
Earlier this week, I wrote a story querying why the actor Julian McMahon had died in the city of Clearwater, Florida - far from his well-documented life in Los Angeles. Clearwater is, after all, famous for one thing: being the global headquarters of the Church of Scientology.

Kate Beckinsale mourns death of mom Judy Loe: 'My dearest friend'
July 18 (UPI) -- Kate Beckinsale is mourning the death of her mother, actress Judy Loe, whom she described as "the compass of my life, the love of my life, my dearest friend." Loe died Tuesday, Beckinsale wrote on social media. An official cause of death was not shared, although Beckinsale said in July 2024 that her mom had stage 4 cancer. "I don't want to post this. I am only posting this because I have had to register my mother's death certificate and it will soon become public record," she wrote on Instagram Thursday night. "She died the night of July 15 in my arms after immeasurable suffering. I have not picked all the best photos, not the best videos, because I cannot bear to go through my camera roll yet." The photo carousel included an image of Loe in a pale yellow cardigan, smiling into the camera, and an image of her when she was younger, strutting across the street with an owl on her shoulder. Beckinsale also included a photograph of her mother smiling while sitting next to a fox on a couch. "I deeply apologize to any of her friends who are finding out this way or through the press, but I cannot go through her phone. I am paralyzed. Jude was the compass of my life, the love of my life, my dearest friend. The vastness and huge heart of this tiny woman has touched so many people who love her dearly," she said. "She has been brave in so many ways, forgiving sometimes too much, believing in the ultimate good in people and the world is so dim without her that it is nearly impossible to bear. Mama, I love you so much. This has been my greatest fear since finding my father dead at five and I am here. Oh my Mama... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I am so sorry." Her father, actor Richard Beckinsale, died from a heart attack at age 31 in 1979.

EXCLUSIVE Inside the mysterious pauper's funeral for the son of a prime minister - as bizarre new details emerge about Julian McMahon's tragic death
Julian McMahon grew up privileged in one of Australia's most exclusive suburbs, befitting the high society family he was born into - making his pauper-like funeral all the more shocking. Daily Mail Australia can reveal new details that indicate the respected actor appears to have had a lonely send-off at a nondescript crematorium on an industrial estate on the US East Coast. The actor, who died of cancer aged 56 in Florida, on July 2, was the son of Prime Minister Sir William McMahon and Sydney society matriarch Lady Sonia McMahon. Julian was raised in a palatial Bellevue Hill mansion, and even when he decamped to the United States to chase his acting dream, he never wanted for money, living in several multi-million-dollar homes in California to rival the grandeur of his upbringing. However, his death certificate painted a terribly sad picture for a man who was a Sydney Grammar boy and one of Australia's finest acting exports. Julian, who starred on Nip/Tuck and Charmed, died at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, a Floridian city overrun with Scientologists. Julian's body was handled by Eternal Cremations - a nondescript, family-run funeral home in the nearby town of Dunedin. The small crematorium sits on a busy main road, sandwiched between a strip mall and a petrol station. After starring in Home and Away, he became one of Australia's acting exports to the US The actor's death certificate, obtained by sheds more light on the mystery A spokesperson for Eternal Cremations said it did not handle funeral arrangements for Julian, and even claimed there was no funeral at all. Instead, Julian's remains were subsequently passed to Palm State Crematory in Clearwater - a business which does not appear to have a website - set in an industrial park on the outskirts of town. Phone calls to the crematorium went unanswered, and it is not known if Julian's third wife Kelly, an American former model, was in attendance, nor where his ashes are. It is not known if Julian's 25-year-old daughter Madison - whom he shares with Baywatch actress Brooke Burns - attended his cremation. Julian's successful 36-year career in his native country and in the United States from the early 1990s makes the lack of entertainment industry peers paying their respects even more puzzling. While his father Sir William and mother Sonia have long passed away, his sisters Melinda, 58, and Debbie, 52, were reported to be devastated by his death. The latest revelations have done little to quell speculation about why he was in Clearwater, including online rumours he may have been a Scientologist. A search of US public records indicated he and Kelly sold an idyllic avocado farm in Ventura, California, in 2023. The death certificate listed a business building in Los Angeles' Encino neighbourhood as both Julian and Kelly's address. His lonely death at a nondescript Clearwater hospital, followed by a cremation at a rundown industrial estate, could not stand in starker contrast to his early life in Sydney. Julian, Melinda and Debbie were raised in a stunning mansion on Drumalbyn Road, Bellevue Hill, with views across Sydney Harbour. Lady McMahon bought it for $123,000 in 1968 - the year Julian, her eldest, was born. After her 2010 death, her estate sold the property in 2011 for $9 million. Before her death, Lady McMahon lived at a similarly stylish home on Victoria Road. She was left a widow in 1988, when her husband, whom she married in 1965 (when she was 33 and he was 57), died in his sleep at 80. According to public documents, the McMahon family still makes a significant mark on Bellevue Hill. Their parents' home was ideal for entertaining, and featured harbour views Melinda and Debbie reside there, and live extremely quiet lives. Insiders say Melinda has not been present at her stunning townhome for several weeks, with one insider speculating she may have travelled to Florida to be by her brother's side in his final days. Debbie, who lives in an apartment building nearby, did not answer the door when a reporter visited on Thursday. It is understood that despite their late parents' colourful social lives, the sisters 'keep their circle extremely tight'. A cache of public documents about Julian's life in the United States since the 1990s, reviewed by Daily Mail Australia, provides little insight into why he ultimately ended up in Clearwater. Records showed he gained his social security identification in New York, but by 1997 he began living in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles. His home, directly beneath the Hollywood Sign, was sold in 2015 for $3.3 million. He also owned a home in Malibu, which he shared with Kelly, and sold in 2017 for $5.41 million. It appeared the couple then moved to their ranch in the farming community of Somis, Ventura County. The hacienda-style home featured 1.8 hectares of Hass avocado trees and 4.4 acres of lemons. The 2,700-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence was listed for sale by the couple in 2016 before being removed from the market in 2017. It was relisted on July 19, 2023 - curiously, the advertisement suggested it could be purchased fully furnished - and sold on October 5, 2023. Since 2023, the McMahons had no further listed residences, save for the business address linked to an accountant specialising in celebrity finances that appeared on his death certificate. However, the couple then seemingly headed to Florida. Julian's daughter Madison - from his previous marriage to American actress Brooke Burns - is listed at an address in Charleston, South Carolina, where it is thought she attended university. However, Madison teaches yoga classes in Miami. Offering a further clue, of the 20 accounts Julian followed on Instagram, one was Mari's Kitchen Italian Market - a restaurant in Hollywood, Florida, just north of Miami. A spokesperson for the restaurant revealed: 'Yes, he is very missed here. One of our good friends'. They would not confirm if Julian had lived in the area. When Kelly, 47, revealed her husband had died in Clearwater after 'a valiant effort to overcome cancer', it immediately prompted speculation online as to whether he was a Scientologist. 'I live in Clearwater... close to a house [Scientologist] John Travolta owns, because we're about a mile from the Scientology centre in downtown Clearwater,' one local wrote on Instagram. 'I was wondering if Julian McMahon was a Scientologist since [Kelly's statement] said he died in Clearwater, because why else would he live the last few months of his life there? The only celebrities that do are usually Scientologists. Surprised, that's for certain!' Another person posted on X: 'Why was Julian McMahon in Clearwater when he died? Like, that's Scientology city.' Clearwater, which has a population of 116,000, is notorious for being overrun by the Church of Scientology.

Resurfaced interview with Julian McMahon and Dannii Minogue reveals how crazy they were about each other before failed marriage - as she remains silent on his shock death
A moving clip has resurfaced of Julian McMahon and Dannii Minogue in the wake of his death. It was revealed in a statement released by his wife Kelly on July 2 that Julian had passed away after secretly battling cancer. Now, a video has come to light showing Julian and his former wife of 18 month, Dannii, revealing just how crazy the couple were about each other during their relationship. In the interview, filmed shortly after their engagement, the two could be seen in the back of a car looking loved up, with Julian kissing Dannii's hand and asking to marry her before cuddling up next to her on the backseat. 'I already said yes to that!' Dannii giggled as the pair cuddled and exchanged smitten looks. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Julian and Dannii then shared what they love most about each other, and explained how 'sparks flew across the room' when they first met. 'You'll have me going for days... well, she's a wonderful person, she really is,' Julian gushed. Dannii chimed in, while giggling and looking lovestruck: 'He is very fun to be with. And he's very romantic. Everything a girl would want.' Elsewhere in the clip, sweet details behind Julian's proposal to the pop star were revealed. 'He went to ring my parents first and asked my dad,' Dannii confessed. 'For permission?' the interviewer could be heard asking, to which she replied: 'Yeah'. In shock, the interviewer remarked: 'Gee that's old-fashioned.' 'I'm an old-fashioned guy,' Julian lovingly responded. The couple also discussed their upcoming wedding, with Dannii revealing her sister Kylie Minogue 'screamed' in excitement when she learned of her sibling's engagement. Dannii has not made an official statement following Julian's shock death last week. The Australian actor died from lung metastasis as a result of head and neck metastatic cancer, per a Cremation Approval Summary Report from the Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office in Florida, obtained by People. However, Dannii did give an insight into their whirlwind marriage just one month before Julian's passing. Dannii originally met Julian in 1990 while co- starring as Emma Jackson and Ben Lucini on the set of Home and Away. Three years later, Dannii (born Danielle) enlisted Julian to play her boyfriend in her music videos for This Is It and This Is the Way, before art imitated life and they tied the knot in 1994. However, the union was short-lived, with the couple parting ways just a year and a half later. Dannii never won over the approval of McMahon's late mother Lady Sonia, who didn't want her entering the political world dominated by his late father Sir Billy, the former Prime Minister of Australia. 'She thought that I was wanting to be part of that world [and] that I was going to take, take, take from them,' Dannii recalled on the How to Fail podcast on May 27. 'And it was the furthest thing from the truth and not what I wanted at all. So she made it very clear that I was not to be around and she didn't want me a part of anything. Yet Julian wanted me to be his wife. 'I knew that their [mother-son] relationship there was a lot had gone on and he loved and adored her, but they were not close in many ways. So it was a wild time. 'I mean, it was a lot to take on and that's how swept off my feet I was and thought that it could still work.' The marriage began falling apart after The Residence actor moved to New York City to star in NBC soap opera Another World while Dannii flew back and forth from London. In 1995, just a year after they married, the couple's divorce was finalised.
