JESSICA Simpson’s family fear the star is on the brink of an emotional breakdown, it has been claimed.

According to the National Enquirer magazine, those closest to Simpson are worried the state of her career and the brutal death of her dog Daisy are starting to push her to the edge.

“Jessica is in the grips of a life crisis right now,” a source told the tabloid.

“She does a great job of publicly hiding the pain, but in private she is an emotional mess.

“Jess is so lonely that she frequently sleeps at her folks’ Encino home. Nights are the worst. Sometimes she calls her mom into the guest bedroom and asks Tina to hold her while she falls asleep.”

“She is beating herself up over poor career choices, and feels as if she didn’t give her best effort to her two-year relationship with Tony Romo or her marriage to Nick Lachey,” the source added.

“Her family has been keeping a close eye on her alcohol consumption. Jess sometimes goes overboard and then gets very emotional.

“They want to be there to nip it in the bud before it becomes a problem.

“Jess had hoped she would have a husband, baby and flourishing acting career by the time she turned 30.

“Instead, she feels like her best days are behind her.”
