Candy Spelling spoke out in support of daughter Tori Spelling as the actress goes through a split from husband Dean McDermott.
The 77-year-old producer – who recently revealed her first husband was gay – told TMZ about her daughter, 50: ‘She’s doing great.’
The outlet caught the star as she left Hermes in Beverly Hills on Friday, accompanied by Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star Josh Flagg.
The mother-of-two admitted she doesn’t know what the fate of Tori and Dean’s, 56, marriage will be.
Asked if the couple is done for good, Candy answered, ‘I don’t know,’ before adding, ‘I love my daughter, and I support her in whatever she does. I support my daughter, what can I tell you?’

Candy was also asked if she’d be willing to help Tori financially if necessary.
‘Of course, I will always be there for her,’ the caring mom replied to the entertainment publication.
Weeks ago, in a now deleted post, McDermott took to Instagram to announce that he and his wife of 18 years were going their separate ways.
The two are parents to five children: Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6.
McDermott is also father to son Jack, 24, whom he shares with ex Mary Jo Eustace.
Alongside a throwback photograph of the pair together and snap with four of their children, Dean, 56, shared a heartfelt statement.
‘It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own,’ he shared.
‘We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time. We ask that you all respect our privacy as we take this time to surround our family with love and work our way through this. Thank you all for your support and kindness,’ the note finished.

Tori – who is the daughter of late film producer Aaron Spelling – has yet to address the split publicly.
According to a friend of the couple, Dean feels he’s done everything in his power to make his wife happy, but believes his efforts have not been reciprocated.
‘Dean has changed and worked very hard to be the husband she needed him to be but she is still demanding and entitled.
‘Nothing he does or has done will ever be good enough for her,’ the insider told DailyMail.com last month.
‘For a very long time Tori used their marital problems to stay relevant,’ the source said.
‘Everyone knew about their issues, and she didn’t play it down, she played it – even going so far to go outside where she knew paparazzi were waiting. This really took a toll on Dean,’ the friend dished.
The insider also claimed that the couple had been struggling with financial issues and the daunting duty of raising their children, stating: ‘Tori did not feel like Dean was holding his weight at the time.
‘She kept wanting more and more, and from Tori’s perspective, she always just felt like Dean wasn’t carrying his half. She feels like she had to raise all their children on her own and, for the most part, she is right.’

Tori and Dean met and began their affair while working on a Lifetime movie in 2005 – when they were both married to other people.
The stars tied the knot in a private ceremony in Fiji on May 7, 2006, less than a month after Tori finalized her divorce from Charlie Shanian, and following Dean’s split from Mary.
The couple remained together despite being buffeted by divorce rumors and reports of financial problems over the years.
They also starred in the reality series Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, which aired from 2007 until 2012.
