Interviewer Ann Curry apologised and Jolie continued, "It's alright. It's a part of life... I lost my mom. It's a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happened. And I'm happy she's out of pain, because I love her and she's my friend." (GES/WNWV/JC)) Richie Is At Home, Not In Rehab.
Socialite NICOLE RICHIE has hit out at claims she is in rehab fighting anorexia and a lethal addiction to painkillers, insisting she is enjoying life at home.
Speculation that Richie - the adopted daughter of singing legend Lionel - had entered the Beau Monde facility in Laguna Beach seeking treatment for an eating disorder and substance abuse surfaced last week (11May07).
But a spokesman for The Simple Life star denies the claims, saying she is in fact at her home in Glendale, California.
The representative tells TMZ.com Richie recently visited her therapist, but her recovery is "an ongoing process" and she is "completely sober".
