Heather Locklear isn’t doing well, after being placed on a psychiatric hold over the weekend due to growing concern from family and friends. 

“Heather had been in rehab for three months and got out in early October, the day before her daughter’s 21st birthday,” a family friend said to People magazine. “And for the last month, she has been living privately and low-key.”

“[On] Saturday, there was a fight with her boyfriend [Chris Heisser] and she threw him out and he alerted her attorney and her doctors,” the source continued. “And yesterday, she was put in a 51-50.”

“It’s very hard on the family. Richie is a rock for Ava. She is holding up but always worried about her mother,” the insider adds, “Heather needs help. Everyone wants her to get better. She is unstable and she’s had a lot of issues, drug use, and alcohol over the years. No one wants to see her go through something like this.”
