The father or porn star Emily Willis says that she hasn’t regained consciousness from a month-long coma and her family has been called to say goodbyes while she survives on a ventilator.
Willis was rushed from a popular celebrity rehab center in Malibu on February 5 to a medical facility in Thousand Oaks, California, after authorities received a call about the 25-year-old, who was found unresponsive.
She had been staying at the facility to receive treatment for addiction, although it is unclear for what exactly and for how long.
Michael Willis, her stepfather who raised her, said that she has been unresponsive for some time now but her condition has stabilized since she was first admitted.
She is on a ventilator to help her breathe and the family is bracing for the worst.

Her father is still trying to obtain a physical copy of the toxicology report that she took which doctors claim came back negative when she suffered a cardiac arrest while in rehab, according to TMZ.
Michael Willis also said that Emily was not eating much and weighed just 80 pounds when she was checked in for rehab but said his daughter was desperate and resolute to get healthy.
Her family has set up a GoFundMe to help pay for her hospital stay and recovery, which has raised $28,000.
The donations will go towards medical bills along with travel and accommodation for her family so they can stay with her in the hospital.
‘With hearts heavier than we ever imagined possible, we find ourselves reaching out for support and care for our beloved Emily Willis—a cherished daughter, sister, and a beacon of light in the lives of all who know her,’ her family wrote online.
‘Recently, Emily’s world, and ours, was turned upside down when she was admitted to the hospital, marking the beginning of an incredibly tough and unforeseen battle. With every ounce of her remarkable strength and bravery, Emily is fighting.
‘The path to recovery stretches far ahead of her, requiring lots of care. The weight of this position extends beyond the emotional and physical; it bears down upon us financially,’ the family explained. ‘With mounting medical bills, the necessities of travel, all while the regular flow of life’s expenses continue.
‘Every donation, no matter its size, will go directly towards easing these burdens, allowing us to devote our energy and resources to Emily’s healing. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers to give her the strength for recovery,’ the family pleaded.
