Singer Lionel Richie has told television show 'Access Hollywood' he has become a "basket case" over daughter Nicole's dramatic weight loss.
The singer is so worried about how thin his adopted daughter has become and the media reports that “he has become a wreck.”
"I'll be honest with you; it hurts me more than it hurts her. I'm more sensitive. I take it more personally. I must tell you, I'm the basket case."
Lionel also revealed that he has spoken to Nicole about her weight and general health.
Said Père Richie: "What are fathers for if you can't point the finger every once in a while? The good part of it is she is aware of it. She has heard this all her life from me so this is just a continuation of the reminder."
Nicole, 24, recently admitted: "I know I'm too thin right now."
Access Hollywood asked Lionel how Nicole, who announced she is releasing a pop album, was doing, Lionel said: "She is doing great."
