Although it might sound like a dream to be born into a lifestyle of fame, fortune and some pretty impressive connections, the offspring of celebrities don’t always stick to the straight and narrow.
The pressures of the spotlight has led many celebrity children astray with drug dealings and arrests that have made headlines and frustrated their parents.
When money is no obstacle and you grow up surrounded by “yes” people, there’s no surprise that not all celebrity children grow up to be as perfect as the Average Joe might expect.
So, here are some celebrity daughters that have had a checkered past and sadly veered off the rails.

The socialite and reality star daughter of Lionel Richie struggled with a heroin addiction as a result of her life of privilege.
Speaking on Good Morning America in 2007, she admitted that nothing excited her after she got everything.
“I think I was just bored, and I had seen everything – especially when you’re young, you just want more.”
By her early twenties, she admitted that she made the decision to seek help for her drug habits.
Speaking of her famous dad’s influence at the time, she said: “I never blamed him. I think he blamed himself.”

More than 11 years ago, famous rock daughter Kelly Osbourne was arrested for slapping a Daily Mirror columnist and charged with assault.
According to sources at the time, she got violent against the columnist, called Zoe Griffin, after she had reported that Kelly’s fiancé was ‘stupid’.
At the time she was 24, and her famous mum Sharon and rocker dad Ozzy were firmly in the spotlight and even had their own reality show.

At the time, police confirmed what had happened, saying: “She was arrested for common assault relating to an alleged incident in Soho in the early hours of 29th August 2008.
“She was bailed to attend a central London police station on a date in March.”
Kelly, however, has since been on the straight and narrow.

In 2010, the daughter of U.S actor Laurence Fishburne announced that she was filming a sex tape in somewhat of a Kim K moment, much to the anger of her famous dad.
At that time she had already been arrested for prostitution and her behaviour continued to spiral out of control.
In 2014, she was arrested after she allegedly crashed her car in Florida.
Police later discovered that she had an open bottle of wine in her car and was well over the alcohol-driving limit.

As well as being slapped with four charges related to a DUI, she was caught on camera threatening to urinate during her arrest.
“I will pee right here on your car. That’s not a problem. I just need to sit down,” she could be heard saying, before actually peeing.
The problems appear to have continued regardless, and in 2018 a judge ordered an arrest warrant for Montana after she violated her probation terms.

The famous offspring of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore has also had a few run ins with the law that involve underage drinking and using a fake ID.
In 2012, at the age of 20, she was arrested in New York and charged with criminal impersonation and violating open container laws.
Now aged 26, the socialite appears to have learnt from her brush with law enforcement and even recently shared with her fans that she got her tattoos lasered off.

Director Steven Spielberg’s daughter Mikaela made headlines earlier this month after announcing that she would be stepping into the adult film industry.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “I got really tired of not being able to capitalise on my body and frankly, I got really tired of being told to hate my body.
“I also just got tired of working day to day in a way that wasn’t satisfying my soul,” the 23-year-old socialite admitted.
As well as posting solo sex videos on PornHub, she went on to explain that she was currently trying to become an exotic dancer.
Sources close to the veteran director told the New York Post that he and his wife were supportive of their daughter regardless of her decisions.
