LOS ANGELES — A 911 recording revealed frantic efforts by friends of Demi Moore to get help for the actress who was convulsing as they gathered around her and tried to comfort her.
Moore was “semi-conscious, barely,” according to a female caller on the recording released by Los Angeles fire officials.
The woman tells emergency operators that Moore, 49, had smoked something before she was rushed to the hospital on Monday night and that she had been “having issues lately.”
“Is she breathing normal?” the operator asks.
“No, not so normal. More kind of shaking, convulsing, burning up,” the friend says as she hurries to Moore’s side, on the edge of panic.
The operator asks the friend if this has happened before.
“I don’t know,” she says. “There’s been some stuff recently that we’re all just finding out.”
Moore’s publicist, Carrie Gordon, said previously that the actress sought professional help to treat her exhaustion and improve her health.
The past few months have been rocky for Moore.
She announced in November she had decided to end her marriage to fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, 33, following news of alleged infidelity.
