Tanya Roberts' ashes will be scattered around a place close to her heart.
Roberts died last week at 65, days after collapsing on a Christmas Eve walk with her dogs, TMZ reported. Now, Roberts' domestic partner Lance O'Brien announced he will be spreading her ashes where she often walked her dogs.
O'Brien told TMZ he plans to scatter her ashes in the hills behind her home in Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles. Roberts would often hike the 4-mile trail 5 times a week with her two dogs.
O'Brien said he is planning a memorial service for Roberts involving her family and friends.
Roberts was first erroneously reported dead on last Monday morning before her publicist corrected the news. She later died Monday night.
"With a heavy heart I can confirm the death of Tanya Roberts last night on January 4, 2021 around 9:30pm PT at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA," said Mike Pingel in a statement.

Pingel went on to state that Roberts' cause of death "was from a urinary tract infection which spread to her kidney, gallbladder, liver and then blood stream."
"Roberts was an animal rights activist in lieu of flowers, they are asking for donations to be given in Roberts name to the ASPCA, https://secure.aspca.org," Pingel said. "An online memorial for Tanya Roberts will be announced shortly. The family ask for privacy as they mourn her death."
