Cara’s sister at her side amid fears for health

CARA Delevingne’s sister has raced to be by the side of the troubled supermodel amid growing concern over her erratic behaviour.

Poppy, 36, who lives in London, was spotted leaving Cara’s Los Angeles mansion on Friday night.

Just days ago, troubling images emerged of Cara, 30, behaving erraticall­y, including leaving her feet dangling from the window of a Chevy Suburban as a driver took her to the private Van Nuys airport in Los Angeles to board a Gulfstream V private jet.

Wearing a Britney Spears T-shirt, she made her way to the plane but disembarke­d 45 minutes later and was spotted pacing up and down, bending over and ‘acting jittery’, according to onlookers.

‘She was chain-smoking and speaking heatedly into her cellphone, which she dropped on the tarmac at one point,’ a bystander told The Mail on Sunday.

Earlier this month, Cara was spotted outside a Los Angeles sex shop smoking an unknown substance from a pipe and dropping liquid from a bottle into her mouth. A family friend said: ‘It is all very troubling. Cara has been open about her mental health issues in the past. She comes from a very good, close family and, of course, they will rally round and do whatever it takes to help her.

‘The family is clearly worried about her, which is why Poppy immediatel­y flew to be with her.’

The supermodel was expected to attend a Puma catwalk show in New York on Tuesday but sources say she is ‘unlikely’ to attend.

She had also been due to promote a ‘gender neutral’ Cara Loves Karl clothing collaborat­ion with designer Karl Lagerfeld.

A source said: ‘The deal with Lagerfeld is huge but even that is in jeopardy if Cara is not well enough to fulfil her promotiona­l obligation­s. Everyone is hoping Cara gets whatever help she needs.’

In April her bankers, HSBC, registered a charge against her company Cara & Co, despite the fact that it has assets of £41.4 million. It has been speculated the action was taken to protect the interests of her bankers in case her firm suffers a sudden reversal of fortune.

‘She comes from a very good, close family’
