A memoir by Anne Heche is selling for nearly $750 after her death.
The Donnie Brasco actress died on Friday at the age of 53, following a car crash.
Her blue Mini Cooper smashed into a residential building and burst into flames, leaving her trapped inside – before firefighters were eventually able to free her.
She suffered a severe brain injury, lung damage and burns, and was put into a coma, with her family later confirming that she had been taken off life support after being declared dead.
Following her death, the price of her 2001 book, Call Me Crazy, has soared online with fans attempting to read her story.
Heche’s memoir, which was first published almost 21 years ago, is currently being sold as a ‘collectible’ on Amazon.

Despite originally being on shelves for $26, it is on offer for between $739 and $949.
However, one copy has been described as ‘inscribed’ by the late actress which may explain the high price tag on that listing.
Call Me Crazy focuses on the Six Days and Seven Nights star’s struggles with mental health while living in the spotlight, and her previous childhood abuse.
She also spoke of her high profile romance with Ellen DeGeneres in the pages.

Heche spoke of plans to write a new book, Call Me Sane, in a new interview before her death, which was released posthumously.
Speaking on the Behind The Velvet Rope podcast, which was recorded in January but only released this week, she explained that it would have delved into her journey as she battled past trauma and abuse, while also offering advice to those in a similar position.
‘It’s the practice of how to get over abuse and how to start the process of living in love with yourself that engaged with others, and living in love with kindness so you can bring yourself to others in a full capacity,’ she is thought to have said.
Heche was declared legally dead on Friday, a week after the horror crash in LA, with her rep confirming the news in a statement.

‘We have lost a bright light, a kind and most joyful soul, a loving mother, and a loyal friend,’ it read.
‘Anne will be deeply missed but she lives on through her beautiful sons, her iconic body of work, and her passionate advocacy.
‘Her bravery for always standing in her truth, spreading her message of love and acceptance, will continue to have a lasting impact.’
Her loved ones waited until she had received organ donor matches before turning off her life support, with her spokesperson announcing on Sunday that a match had been identified.
They added: ‘Anne Heche has been peacefully taken off life support.’
