Updated — Jan. 2, 4:40 p.m. ET: Leelah Alcorn's funeral, which was originally scheduled for Friday, has been moved after the family received threats.

The funeral for an Ohio transgender teen whose death and suicide note struck a chord across the country was moved Friday and held privately after threats against the family. Leelah Alcorn, 17, died Sunday after writing in an online diary that her parents didn't accept that she identified as female.

The youth and family minister at Northeast Church of Christ in Cincinnati, Tim Tripp, told NBC News that the funeral was rescheduled in a private location after ""the times and dates had been publicized, and the family's received threats."

He added that the family had received threats there would be "disruptions" at the funeral, but did not elaborate on Tripp wouldn't specify what threats surrounded the funeral, other than to say the family had heard there would be "disruptions."

Tim Tripp did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment.
