The 50-year-old said: "I had to, like, deal with a lot of stressful adult things at a young age.

"I didn't have the ability to deal with the emotions that were coming with it. I just had to buck up."

As she fought to hold back tears, Willow comforted her by saying: "Oh, mommy. This is why we do the work."

The mother-daughter duo have previously discussed Jada's struggle to understand Willow's anxiety.

"I had a really difficult time relating, because - two things - her lifestyle and how she was brought up very different than mine - I don't know what it's like to be a child under hot lights.

"And then just, really not knowing how to comfort her, not knowing what help she needed, not understanding the behaviour."

Jada then said: "It was very difficult, even to this day, in just being there for her in the way that she needs."
