Ava Sambora, Locklear’s 25-year-old daughter with former Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, is reportedly having a hard time with “her mother’s addictions.”

However, Sharan Magnuson, a close friend of Locklear’s, insisted to Page Six that the actress is doing just fine.

“I just FaceTimed with Heather today and she’s doing great. We text all the time and we had lunch together only a few weeks ago, we had the best time, we laughed and reminisced. Heather looked fantastic, she was lucid — she’s the best she’s looked in years,” Magnuson told Page Six.

According to People, Locklear has been to rehab over 20 times for substance use treatment and to treat mental health issues.

Locklear was married to Sambora from 1994 to 1997.
