Fashion queen Donatella Versace's daughter Allegra is under medical care, battling a serious eating disorder. The Versace heir's father, Paul Beck, has released a statement confirming his daughter is anorexic.
He writes, "Allegra has been battling anorexia, a very serious disease, for many years. She is receiving the best medical care possible to help overcome this illness and is responding well.
"We are doing our best to protect our daughter.
"However, due to numerous media reports, we want to let everyone know that we appreciate their concern for Allegra, and we ask that her privacy be respected at this time."
Donatella, 52, has expressed her heartache and has admitted Allegra was being "consumed" by the illness, and pleaded with the media to "respect our pain."
She says, "My daughter is very ill. Anorexia is consuming her and we are very worried.
However, the doctors are doing all they can to snatch her away from this cruel disease and we have faith in them.
"Please think of us and respect our pain. Many mothers will know well what I am going through and what my daughter is risking."
