Chloe Lattanzi appeared painfully thin as she went shopping in Malibu with her mother.

Despite daily visits from a nutritionist and therapist, on the orders of her parents, she seems to be struggling to gain weight.

In an interview with an Australian magazine, she said: 'I've gone though an eating disorder.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. I'm taking very good care of myself now, but I'm not going to be like "Oh I eat pizza every day!" And I'm honest about that.'

Chloe also told how a series of tragic events in her family had contributed to her eating disorder.

In 1992 her mother fought breast cancer and the family also became bankrupt. A year later, her father Matt Lattanzi divorced Miss Newton- John.

Her health took a dramatic downturn two years ago, after her mother's long-term boyfriend, Patrick McDermott, disappeared under mysterious circumstances on a fishing trip.

Commenting on her daughter's struggle, Miss Newton-John told the magazine: 'All the therapists in the world can't help if the parents aren't present, loving and pro-active.'
