Rosie O’Donnell shared a photo of her daughter, Chelsea O’Donnell, on Instagram Wednesday.
It was an old photo of Chelsea as a kid.
“My child chelsea belle – before addiction took over her life,” O’Donnell said.
“I loved her then (I) love her now as she faces a scary future- prayers welcomed.”
She used the hashtags “addiction” and “awareness.”
Chelsea O’Donnell, 28, recently had her probation revoked and on Oct. 22 was sentenced to prison, People reports.
“I have compassion for those struggling with addiction,” Rosie O’Donnell said in a statement to the outlet.
“Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her four young children,“ she said. ”We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed.”

O’Donnell adopted Chelsea as a baby with her ex-wife Kelli Carpenter. They married in 2004 and split in 2007.
O’Donnell has five children — Parker, 30; Chelsea, 28; Blake, 25; Vivienne, 22; and Clay, 12.
Chelsea was arrested three times in Wisconsin last fall, per the People report, on felony charges including possession of methamphetamine, possession of narcotic drugs, neglecting a child, bail jumping and resisting or obstructing an officer.
In February, she pleaded guilty to three counts — bail jumping, possession of methamphetamine and resisting or obstructing an officer.
Chelsea was later sentenced to six years of probation, with one of the conditions being that she had to remain sober.
The possible penalty for violating her probation was prison time.
