Heather Locklear, 61, seen with swollen face on rare outing in LA as star’s family worries about her erratic behavior
HEATHER Locklear has raised eyebrows after being spotted with a puffy face during a rare outing in Los Angeles.
Heather, 61, has reportedly worried her family due to her continual drinking problems and eccentric behavior.
The Melrose Place alum ran about Calabasas, California on Thursday afternoon to do a few errands.
She was photographed emerging from an unmarked building before she noticed photographers and attempted to hide her face with her hand.
A smile remained on her face as she made her way out of the property.
Heather - who played Amanda Woodward on the soap for six years until 1999 - rocked an off-the-shoulder sweater with huge leopard-print lips on the front.

Friends of the actress, who has been in rehab for her addiction issues a staggering 20 times, deny she is drinking again.
The latest incident comes less than a year after the end of a three-year probation term she received for attacking a police officer and paramedic in February 2018.
Pals have also denied rumors she is taking the weight-loss drug Ozempic, which can cause thyroid tumors, gallbladder issues and even kidney failure.
According to Radar Online, the actress has been "staying on the right track" in recent weeks.
After the July incident, according to The Daily Mail, her family felt differently.
"The family is very worried. Everyone feels helpless - Richie [Sambora], her family, especially her daughter Ava who loves her so much," a source claimed.
"Tequila has always been her drink. She can’t stay away from it," the insider continued.
In 2020, her high school sweetheart, Chris Heisser, proposed to Heather, but the pair don't seem to be in a rush to wed.
She shares daughter Ava with guitarist Richie, whom she was married to from 1994 until 2007.
Before that, she was married to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee from 1986 until 1993
