Goldie Hawn thinks Justin Bieber's downward spiral is "heart-breaking."
The 68-year-old actress, whose daughter Kate Hudson, 34, has also carved out a career in Hollywood, believes fame is very challenging for young celebrities and can be very stressful.
When asked about the 19-year-old star, who was arrested and charged with drink driving, resisting arrest and drag racing in Miami, Florida in the early hours of Thursday morning (01.23.14), the 'The First Wives Club' star told CNN at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that his situation was "heart-breaking" and admitted she could relate to the 'Baby' hitmaker.
She said: "It actually breaks my heart because I know what's going on. Now they're self-medicating and this is the most dangerous thing for them.
"Talent, sweetness, ability to manage -- what good they could be doing, how happy they could be feeling. And as a mother -- and a grandmother now -- all I want to do is hold them."
Goldie sought help early in her career even though she was never attracted to drugs.
She said: "It was very stressful. I was away from home. It happened overnight for me and I really became anxious around it.
"I sought help because I wanted to find out why I wasn't as happy as I should have been, or excited, but I didn't understand why people were asking me for my autograph."

Justin Bieber has jetted off on holiday to Panama.
The 'Baby' hitmaker, who was charged with drink driving, resisting arrest and drag racing in Miami, Florida on Thursday (23.01.14), was spotted walking topless along the beach and went jet-skiing with friends, including his rumoured new flame Chantel Jeffries, in Punta Chame on Saturday morning (25.01.14).
Wearing a pair of bright blue swim shorts, the Canadian star looked relaxed and carefree as he soaked up the sun with the bikini-clad model, who was with him when he was arrested, and two male friends, one of whom appeared to be holding a bucket of beer.
Twitter user Robert Menegoni was among the first to reveal Justin's whereabouts in the early hours of Saturday morning when he tweeted: "Just arrived in Hartford. Slight delay leaving panama due to justin Bieber arriving by surprise. Paparazzi, JB is hiding out in Panama!! (sic)"
The singer is allowed to consume alcohol in the Central American country, where the legal drinking age is 18, three years lower than in the US.
Other fans also posted pictures on Twitter of Justin arriving and speaking to security at immigration control at Tocumen International Airport near Panama City.
The troubled star flew out of Miami on Friday night (24.01.14) after refusing to board a private plane that had been organised to take him back to Los Angeles so he could enter rehab after he was released from jail on Thursday.
His security team were forced to sneak him out the back of his rented mansion in South Beach due to the huge amount of fans waiting to greet him.

Malin Akerman admits motherhood isn't what she expected.
The 'Trophy Wife' star, whose rocker husband Roberto Zincone filed for divorce in November after six years of marriage, is still adjusting to life as a single mother but can't believe how much love she gets from her 21-month-old son, Sebastian.
The 35-year-old Swedish-Canadian actress told UsMagazine.com: "It's so much fun. I mean, every moment. I get to bring him to work every day. He comes down to set. Everyone on set are like his aunts and uncles. He's going to be a really social baby."
Asked about motherhood, she said: "It's like one of those things where it's everything you expected, but it's not at all how you expected it. There's so much love, and in such a crazy way, it's one of those things where you just keep pinching yourself because they grow so much all the time."
She added: "[There are] so many moments that you didn't know were going to happen that just excite you that are really small things. All I want to do is hold that baby."
The 'Couple's Retreat' star, who lives in Los Angeles, can see both herself and her estranged husband in their son, who is almost walking.
She said: "You keep going, 'Wow, he looks so much like me,' or 'he's doing this, and that's so much like his father.'
"The best part about him is that he cracks himself up with so many things.
"Literally, I'll put him in his bed, and all of a sudden, I'll just hear him laughing in his own bed. He's kind of amazing. And I'm walking backwards, and he's walking, just watching your feet walk backwards is hysterical to him."

Lindsay Lohan's credit card has been declined.
The 'Mean Girls' star was left embarrassed when her card was rejected as she tried to pay $2,500 for her table and bottles of vodka at 10ak nightclub in Southampton on Saturday night (16.08.14).
A source told the New York Post's Page Six gossip column: "Lindsay freaked out when her card was declined. Her friends and others in her group had to chip in to cover the bill."
Lindsay - who is set to make her West End debut in David Mamet's 'Speed-the-Plow' on September 24 - completed her sixth stint in rehab last summer and recently insisted that her partying days were over.
She said: "I'm at a place in my life where I like the commitment. I'm looking forward to that part of it."
The 28-year-old actress is even believed to have visited New York last week to "re-establish" contact with her sobriety circle in an attempt to "clear her head" away from London.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Lindsay was making every effort to re-establish contact with her sober group of friends this weekend while she was in New York.
"She needed to get away and clear her head, but now she is trying to get back on track. Reconnecting with people in her life that are positive influences is a huge step in the right direction."

Ray J has pleaded not guilty to groping a woman.
The 'I Hit It First' singer was charged with 10 misdemeanour offences after being arrested at the Beverly Wilshire hotel in May and entered a plea in Los Angeles yesterday (19.08.14) to deny the charges, which also included resisting arrest and vandalism.
He must now return to court for a preliminary hearing on August 28.
After the charges were filed against him last month, it was claimed Ray was seen by multiple witnesses, both staff and patrons, grabbing a woman's chest, prompting a sexual battery charge.
Both the hotel lobby and bar are filled with surveillance cameras which cover every angle of both rooms, while another witness described the singer as "wacked out on something" when he entered the bar.
As well as sexual battery, the singer faces four charges of resisting arrest, three counts of assault and battery, and two counts of vandalism.
After being asked to leave the hotel due to his "rowdy" antics, Ray - who is best known for appearing in a sex tape with then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian - refused to go so security made a citizen's arrest.
Law enforcement officers then arrived at the scene and the R&B star allegedly kicked out the back window of the police car and spat in an arresting officer's face as he was being handcuffed.

Kylie, 17, said: "I don't think we really remember a time before the cameras.
And 18-year-old Kendall added to DuJour magazine: "Even before the show, when we were babies -- four or five years old -- we'd be walking red carpets with our dad [Bruce Jenner]."
It was recently claimed Kendall wants to quit 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' because she is concerned it could affect her modelling career.
A source said: "She has been advised by friends in the fashion industry that reality TV could damage her modeling career."
While Kendall is contractually bound to finish filming the latest series of the show, she has pulled out of appearing in any spin-off programmes.
The source added: "Kendall had the option to pull out of any other potential shows and that's exactly what she's done."

Kanye West has ditched fried chicken in favour of three smoothies a day.
The 37-year-old rapper has been banned from eating calorific treats, such as macaroni and cheese and mouth-watering chicken covered in batter, as part of a new diet which sees him eat healthy food five times a day.
Harley Pasternak, who is training the 'Bound 2' hitmaker, explained: "My programme for him covers exercise in the gym, his steps outside, and his lifestyle habits and diet.
"He eats five times a day, with three meals and two snacks.
"For the first five days of the Reset diet he has three smoothies a day and two crunchy snacks.
"A white smoothie for breakfast, red smoothie for lunch, and green smoothie for dinner, made with protein, fibre and healthy fat in every meal, and with crunchy snacks in between.
"Snacks are either high fibre crackers with turkey, roasted chickpeas or air-popped popcorn or an apple with low fat cheese."
As well as being careful what he eats, Harley also insists Kanye, as well as his other celebrity clients including Miley Cyrus, Halle Berry and Robert Pattinson, email him on a daily basis to inform him exactly what they've eaten and he instructs them to carry pedometers with them wherever they go.
He added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I tell my clients they have me in their pockets and I have them in mine. All my clients have to do a minimum 12,000 steps per day.
"They carry the Fitbit in their pocket or on their wrist like a watch.
"It's linked with their phone so the information gets zapped straight to my computer.
"They must email me daily saying what they've eaten, how many steps they've taken and the hours they've slept."
Kanye is currently working out at least five times a week and his latest exercise regime looks to have inspired his wife Kim Kardashian West as she recently insisted she was determined to lose 20lbs.
She took to Twitter to post a picture of herself five years ago and captioned the image: "ughhh I am 20 lbs lighter here! This was just 5 years ago! Ok I'm going back on my grind. I gotta get back here! (sic)"

'Benefits Street' star White Dee has been accused of "betraying her roots".
The 43-year-old star of the Channel 4 documentary series about James Turner Street in Birmingham, where a large number of residents claim government benefits instead of working, has been accused by her neighbour of betraying her roots by appearing on 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
Black Dee - whose real name is Samora Roberts - said: "She's a sell-out. I don't know her no more."
The 32-year-old reality TV star - who faces court next month on drugs and ammunition charges - insisted she wasn't jealous of her former friend, telling The Sun newspaper: "I wouldn't want nothing from some people who stabbed us in our heart.
"I wouldn't go on Big Brother.
"I hope she does the best for herself and her children. I'm still living the same normal life, with the same normal people, on the normal road."
Since joining the Channel 5 series on Monday (18.08.14), Dee has been tasked with trying to fool the foreign celebrity contestants - who include 'Point Break' actor Gary Busey - into believing she is the Duchess of Solihull and is related to the Queen.
Commenting on her task, one resident of James Turner Street said: "I think it is ridiculous to be honest."
Meanwhile, White Dee - who tweeted that she "couldn't bear the thought of being back on benefits" prior to entering the reality show house - is to be referred to by her real name Dee Kelly from now on, at the request of her management, who say she deserves "respect".

Cilla Black has defended Sir Cliff Richard.
The 60s popstar turned TV presenter has released a statement in support of her friend - whose house was searched in relation to a historical sex offence last week - in which she insists the accusations made against him are false.
The 71 year old wrote: "Cliff is a very close friend of mine and has been for a million years.
"I, like everyone else, was shocked to hear of these allegations and I am absolutely positive that they are without foundation."
Following the search of the 73-year-old star's property in Berkshire, South East England, items are believed to have been removed by the authorities but no arrests have been made.
A police spokesman said at the time "Police have gained entry to a property in the Sunningdale area of Berkshire. Officers are currently searching the property.
"A search warrant was granted after police received an allegation of a sexual nature dating back to the 1980s involving a boy who was under the age of 16 at the time.
"No one has been arrested and the owner of the property was not present."
Meanwhile, Sir Cliff - who is currently residing at his home in Portugal - is said to be angry at how long police are taking to investigate the child abuse allegations and has strongly denied sexually assaulting the young boy at an event in 1985.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Sir Cliff and his team want explanations as to why the investigation has gone on for so long and why they burst into his home without warning.
"Sir Cliff feels publicly humiliated by the events of the past few days and is determined that this will not be repeated when he comes back to face the music.
"He wants to retain a sense of dignity in this whole very distressing situation."

Mary Berry is pleased Paul Hollywood is back with his wife.
The 'Great British Bake Off' judge is delighted that Paul - who is her co-star on the BBC1 show - has been forgiven by his wife following an affair with his fellow 'The American Baking Competition' presenter Marcela Valladolid in 2013 and says he is much happier now he has been reunited with his family.
She told The Sun newspaper: "What happens in Paul's private life is down to Paul. What I do want is to see Paul happy -- he deserves that.
"Alex is lovely and a great mum and they've got a lovely little boy."
However, the 79-year-old cookery writer - who has helmed the series with the professional baker since 2010 - insists Paul has retained a naughty streak and still cracks jokes during filming.
She explained: "I've been known to leave the room when Paul cracks one of his jokes or makes a comment that has innuendo in it.
"Some things I don't get but Paul can fall about in hysterics and that alone makes it difficult to concentrate."
She added: "Luckily, filming schedules aren't so tight that we can't take a break when we need to. Doing it live would be more of a challenge."

Holly Willoughby "can't wait to wallow at home" when she takes her maternity leave.
The 'This Morning' presenter, who is expecting her third child with husband Dan Baldwin, is looking forward to putting her feet up and relaxing when she takes a year-long break from the hit ITV show later this year.
She said: "By the end of the day I'm just ready for bed. Your body can't do as much as you want. I can't wait to just wallow at home like a big hippo."
The blonde beauty - who already has son Harry, five, and three-year-old daughter Belle - admits she won't have any more children after giving birth to her third child so wants to enjoy her maternity leave as much as possible.
Holly, 33, told the Daily Star newspaper: "I'm taking quite a long time off - a year, I think. This will probably be the last baby I will have.

Pregnant Holly Willoughby ‘can’t wait to wallow’
Holly Willoughby "can't wait to wallow at home" when she takes her maternity leave.
The 'This Morning' presenter, who is expecting her third child with husband Dan Baldwin, is looking forward to putting her feet up and relaxing when she takes a year-long break from the hit ITV show later this year.
She said: "By the end of the day I'm just ready for bed. Your body can't do as much as you want. I can't wait to just wallow at home like a big hippo."
The blonde beauty - who already has son Harry, five, and three-year-old daughter Belle - admits she won't have any more children after giving birth to her third child so wants to enjoy her maternity leave as much as possible.
Holly, 33, told the Daily Star newspaper: "I'm taking quite a long time off - a year, I think. This will probably be the last baby I will have.
