A desperate cry for help: Actress Heather Locklear has recently been voicing great concern for her physical but especially mental health after being filmed on the streets of Malibu confused and detached from reality while even sitting with herself and muttering irrational sentences.
The former Melrose Place star was exclusively documented by a photographer for the British gossip website The Daily Mail in a series of photos published on the site, showing her in a scruffy block that included flip-flops, matted hair and a confused, pale facial expression, sitting on the steps of a building, muttering to herself while appearing completely detached from what was happening around her.

"She went back to drinking," her associates told the site of the former successful actress, whose last rehab session was in 2019. "Her family is very worried and feels helpless, especially Richie [Locklear's ex-wife. and her daughter Eva who loves her so much," they added.
They also said that Locklear, who has been battling severe addictions to alcohol and drugs for decades and also deals with a series of mental health problems that led her to be hospitalized several times in rehab centers, has also developed a dependence on Ozempic (the injection intended to treat diabetics but has become a hit among overweight people. A.H.) and has so far shed close to 20 kilograms of weight.
"Tequila has always been her favorite drink," her associates told the website. "She can't get away from it. Now she's also become dependent on Ozempic and is obsessed with her weight."
Locklear's crash began in 2006 around the time of her divorce from Sambora, when she was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Over the next decade, Locklear went in and out of rehab and hospitalizations, embroiled in violent traffic violations and battling severe alcohol and drug addiction along with a host of mental health issues, including severe anxiety and depression.

"She's drinking and told friends a month ago that she wanted to go back to rehab, but she's not there yet," Locklear's associates told Us Weekly. They added that despite her suspended sentence in 2019 and her alleged rehab, no one really supervised her and she apparently continued to drink, which led to her current worrying condition.
