Rosie O’Donnell’s voice trembled as she asked her followers for prayers — not for herself, but for her daughter. Chelsea, just 28 and a mother of four, has been sentenced to prison after years of battling addiction.

“She was my sweet Chelsea Belle before addiction took over her life,” Rosie wrote, sharing a photo of her little girl smiling from simpler days. “I loved her then, and I love her now.”

Chelsea’s journey has been heartbreaking. Once given a chance through probation and treatment, she fell back into the shadows of substance abuse. Court records show repeated arrests and failed programs — a spiral that ended with her transfer to a correctional facility in Wisconsin.

Rosie, now 63, spoke with quiet pain and unshaken love. “Chelsea was born into addiction,” she told People. “It’s been a painful road for her and her children. We’ll keep loving and supporting her.”

Behind the fame and headlines, this is the story of a mother who refuses to give up. A reminder that no matter how far someone drifts, love — and hope — still reach across every distance.
