Farrah Fawcett has excluded Ryan O'Neal from her 2007 will, instead she has left everything to her son Redmond O'Neal.

Farrah's, 24-year-old, currently incarcerated son Redmond is said to inherit his mother's approximately $6 million estate.

"Farrah appointed two trustees to make sure the money supports her son's journey into sobriety rather than giving him the means to destroy himself," a source reportedly told the Daily Mail. "Redmond’s inheritance will be tightly controlled."

Redmond was in jail on drug-related charges and therefore unable to be by his mother's side when she died. O'Neal said he asked Fawcett to "please forgive him, that he was so very, very sorry."

Farrah Fawcett died of cancer at age 62 on June 25, 2009. She wrote her last will in 2007 after she learned her anal cancer had recurred and spread to her liver.

Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal had a 15-year relationship which ended in 1997 and reunited after she was diagnosed with cancer in 2006. Ryan  O’Neal, 68, has also vowed to help their son overcome his demons. In an interview last week, he said: ‘I loved her so very, very much. Redmond is in the fight of his life but is doing well. I will do everything that is in my power to honour her memory and to protect our son.’
