Family and friends gathered Monday at Queen of Heaven Cemetery & Mortuary in Rowland Heights, California, to say their final goodbyes to 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose tragic death has left Los Angeles reeling.
A hearse arrived at the cemetery, pulling up beside a large tent where loved ones would gather to mourn. The funeral provided a somber moment for those closest to Celeste to honor her memory amid a case that has left the community with more questions than answers.
Discovery of Celeste’s Body
Celeste’s body was discovered last month, in the front trunk of a Tesla belonging to singer D4vd. The car had been abandoned near a house the singer was renting in the Hollywood Hills and was later impounded. Her remains were found days later at a Hollywood tow yard, in a severely decomposed state.
Authorities believe Celeste had been dead for weeks before the grim discovery. Friends of D4vd reportedly thought she was 19, though she was just 14. Celeste had been reported missing in early 2024 from her home in Lake Elsinore, California.
Impact on D4vd and the Music Scene
Since the discovery of Celeste’s body, D4vd has remained radio silent, canceling his ongoing tour and shelving the deluxe rollout of his album “Withered.” The singer has also reportedly moved out of the Hollywood Hills rental where police executed a search warrant. He has not been publicly seen since the incident.
The shocking circumstances surrounding Celeste’s death have rocked both L.A.’s music community and the public, sparking intense media scrutiny and ongoing police investigation.
Family and Community Mourn
The funeral service allowed Celeste’s loved ones to gather and grieve together, offering a moment of closure amid an otherwise tragic and confusing case. Friends, family, and community members remembered her as a vibrant young teen whose life was cut far too short.
“We will never forget you, Celeste,” a family member reportedly said, embracing the pain and heartbreak shared by all present.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances of Celeste’s death. Questions remain about how and why the tragedy occurred, as the LAPD works to uncover all relevant details. The case continues to dominate headlines and social media discussions in Los Angeles.
Celeste Rivas, age 14, will be remembered as a bright, young life lost far too soon.
