Barton calms fears about weight loss

Actress Mischa Barton has told fans not to worry about her apparent weight loss.

The 23-year-old’s slender frame has been the focus of media comment recently.

But Mischa wrote in her blog: “Lately there’s been a lot of crazy press about my weight and just so you guys know I’m happier than ever so there’s no need to worry about me.”

“Things are really well in Mischa world and I’ve just been watching what I eat. I appreciate the concern, I just wish the press wouldn’t harbour on it as I think it’s very unhealthy for young girls to read about and pay attention to.”
