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.
