The father of adult film star Emily Willis has given an update on her condition after she was admitted to hospital in 'critical condition' last month.
The 25-year-old porn star, who boasts over two million followers on Instagram, faces 'an incredibly tough and unforeseen battle', according to her loved ones.
Speaking to TMZ, her stepfather Michael - who has raised her as his own -confirmed that the adult star was in rehab for eight days before she suffered a cardiac arrest.
He explained that Emily was determined to get healthy and was committed to treatment.

Michael added that his daughter is currently in a coma, on a ventilator and is still unresponsive, but that she has stabilised a bit since first being admitted.
According to TMZ, Emily's family are preparing for the worst amid her health battle.
Her family have created a fundraising page in a bid to help them pay for Emily's care, which apparently she will need 'lots of'.
Created on Saturday (March 2), they're hoping to raise $60,000. At the time of writing, over $15,000 has been raised so far.
"Dear Friends and Family," the fundraiser's bio began.
"With hearts heavier than we ever imagined possible, we find ourselves reaching out for support and care for our beloved Emily Willis—a cherished daughter, sister, and a beacon of light in the lives of all who know her.
"Recently, Emily's world, and ours, was turned upside down when she was admitted to the hospital, marking the beginning of an incredibly tough and unforeseen battle.
"With every ounce of her remarkable strength and bravery, Emily is fighting."
It continued: "The path to recovery stretches far ahead of her, requiring lots of care. The weight of this position extends beyond the emotional and physical; it bears down upon us financially.
"With mounting medical bills, the necessities of travel, all while the regular flow of life's expenses continue."
Detailing what people's donations will go towards, Emily's family explained that it will help pay for medical bills, travel and accommodation, and bridging the financial gap while they take time off work to help.
