The controversial Westboro Baptist Church revealed on social media why their plan regarding protesting Leonard Nimoy's funeral service was recently foiled.

The famed 'Star Trek', actor best known as Mr. Spock, passed away at the age of 83 due to complications from lung disease on February 27, 2015.

"Leonard Nimoy's funeral is today, but nobody is sharing WHERE. So Westboro AND @WilliamShatner can't attend :(," wrote the Westboro Baptist Church on Twitter on March 1.

The group is referring to the latest controversy surrounding Nimoy's longtime 'Star Trek' co-star William Shatner (Captain James Tiberius 'Jim' Kirk) after the 'T. J. Hooker' actor could not attend the funeral due to a fundraising event scheduling conflict that day.

"Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried. The church has insinuated that I too am going to hell, what a time to be alive," wrote Shatner on Twitter.

In addition, Westboro Baptist Church also posted videos and other messages claiming that Nimoy is currently in hell due to his strong support of the LGBT community in the past.

"Don't follow #leonardnimoy to Hell! #BadJew," wrote the group on Twitter on March 2, which included a Vine video of a man holding two poster boards, where one of the signs had the following words written: "F*g Enabler in Hell."

Another person who has faced criticism in the past by the Westboro Baptist Church is President Barack Obama.

The lifelong Trekkie recently shared his thoughts concerning the passing of Nimoy.

"Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek's optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity's future," said Obama in a recent statement.

"In 2007, I had the chance to meet Leonard in person. It was only logical to greet him with the Vulcan salute, the universal sign for 'Live long and prosper.' And after 83 years on this planet - and on his visits to many others - it's clear Leonard Nimoy did just that."
