The singer from 'Smile',Lily Allen says that watching the twice divorced Britney Spears going through such a difficult time earlier last week was deeply saddening.
Britney lost custody of her two sons, two year old Sean Preston and one year old Jayden.
Lily told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "My heart goes out to her. I feel that she must be in a tough place right now. It's really upsetting".
The 22-year-old star says she finds being a celebrity "nightmarish" at times and claims it must be unbearable for Britney, whose career began aged 11 on US TV show 'The New Mickey Mouse Club'.
Lily added, "I was 19 when I started doing this, so I can't even imagine what it must be like for her. I find it sort of nightmarish on some days but amazing on others, and I am no way as successful or famous as she is. I mean, I wake up in the morning and there are five paparazzi outside my house pretty much every day. She must feel like, 'God I need to get away'".
Lily's kind words are a change of heart for the usually outspoken star, known for publicly criticizing stars that she dislikes.
