Eddie Murphy has found love on the rebound with a dead ringer for his ex Tracey Edmonds.

The funnyman has been linked with the sister of CSI: Miami star Eva LaRue, and friends insist the Dreamgirls star is smitten.

The couple met at Sushiya restaurant in Los Angeles, where Lara LaRue works as a waitress, and they've become inseparable of late. They share the same April 3rd birthday.

A pal tells America's In Touch magazine, "He is already telling his friends that he is in love... He's been sending Lara huge floral arrangements practically every day."

Murphy has been single since he split from Edmonds in January.

The couple wed in Bora Bora on New Year's Day but split as they attempted to legalize the union in America.
