Liza Minnelli moves Judy Garlands remains from New York to Los Angeles 50 years after her death

HE won’t be over the rainbow about this!

A Judy Garland super fan travelled from California to New York just to buy a burial spot next to the screen legend — only to have his dreams dashed when her remains were shipped back to Hollywood, reports the New Post.

The unidentified diehard purchased the space adjacent to Garland in the Ferncliff Mausoleum, just outside of New York City — a piece of real estate that sells for up to $20,000 at the cemetery.

“It’s funny because there’s a man who specifically flew in from California because he is a big fan of hers,” a cemetery manager told the New York Post.

“He purchased a plot near her so when he dies he could be next to her. I don’t know what he is going to do now.”

The legendary star of The Wizard of Oz star had been interred in crypt number 31 in Unit 9 since 1969, when she died of a drug overdose.

But her remains were exhumed late last week and sent to Los Angeles at the behest of her daughter Liza Minnelli.

Garland was moved to California because Ferncliff didn’t have enough room for the rest of her family — including children Liza, 70; Lorna Luft, 64; and Joey Luft, 61 — to be buried alongside her, People magazine reported.

The actress will be reinterred at the star-studded Hollywood Forever Cemetery, where celebrities such as Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Marilyn Monroe and The Beatles’ George Harrison are buried.

“At this time, it’s a private family matter,” a Hollywood Forever spokeswoman said, declining to provide details on where exactly Garland’s new resting place would be.

Garland was in good company at Ferncliff — where Oscar-winning actress Joan Crawford, author James Baldwin and civil-rights activist Malcolm X are also interred.

The manager said it wasn’t clear whether Garland’s empty tomb would be filled.

“We haven’t decided what to do yet but we think because she’s been here so long, we will just leave it here and memorialise her,” the manager said.

On Friday, after news that Garland’s remains had been moved out of New York, fans left fresh flowers, photos and cards at her gravesite.

One of the actress’ “biggest fans,” Bobby Garmic, penned an adoring note.

“After all these years you are still the top,” he wrote. “One of my favourite things of my life was seeing you in person at the Palace Theatre with Joe and Lorna in 1967.”

Ferncliff officials declined to comment.

Garland, a two-time Academy Award nominee whose 1961 Carnegie Hall concert ranks among the venue’s greatest performances, was found dead in her London home at age 47.
