Denise Richards' scary skinny arms

Denise Richards spends some quality family time with her daughters at the Beverly Glen Center in Bel-Air.

Denise Richards stepped out in Bel-Air Calif. on Friday baring an alarmingly skinny set of arms, raising some questions about the actress' health.

Richards was seen taking her three kids Eloise, Lola and Sam for ice cream when it appeared there could be some cause for worry.

"Denise has always been thin. Her whole family is thin," a close friend of Richards tell the Huffington Post. "She hasn't changed anything, her workout is still Pilates. But she is literally on the go non-stop. She's a single mom to three active girls, and sometimes helps Brooke [Mueller] out with her boys. That alone keeps her moving non-stop."

Richards and her girls just suffered a loss when her 13-year-old French bulldog named Hank died.

"The last few months she has been working a lot and just juggling everything," the source continued.

As of late the skinny star has made a cameo on Bravo's "Millionare Matchmaker" to help her dad Irv Richards find love since his wife's passing.


Richards is also set to work with Kathy Najimy in the ABC drama, "Socio," which is a family mystery drama about a 16-year-old girl returning home after a murder conviction.

As far as Richards' personal fitness goes, "she has honestly never felt better," said the source. "It's important for her to always instill good, healthy body image to her girls. I don't think she's lost weight, maybe just leaned out a little and certainly not on purpose."
