MELROSE Place actress Heather Locklear was all smiles after sparking concern with her erratic behavior earlier this month.

Heather, 61, who got her big break as Sammy Jo Carrington on Dynasty in 1981, looked blissfully happy as she stepped out in all-black attire.

The Melrose Place star has had a history of well-publicized addiction issues.

Yet after being spotted looking disheveled while out and about over the summer, it appears she is back on track.

Heather - who played Amanda Woodward on the soap for six years until 1999 - donned a short-sleeve black top and matching flared pants.

She finished off her casual look with black flip-flops and a white handbag.

The actress tied her blonde hair up and went make-up-free for her relaxed day running errands in the Los Angeles sunshine.

Clearly in good spirits, she waved at passersby as she hopped out of her vehicle to head to the trendy grocery store Erewhon.

ERRATIC BEHAVIOR

Over the summer, Heather was pictured behaving erratically in California, teetering along the edge of an office building in a pair of flip-flops before rambling to herself.

But friends of the actress, who has been in rehab for her addiction issues a staggering 20 times, deny she is drinking again.

The latest incident comes less than a year after the end of a three-year probation term she received for attacking a police officer and paramedic in February 2018.

Pals have also denied rumors she is taking the weight-loss drug Ozempic, which can cause thyroid tumors, gallbladder issues and even kidney failure.

TROUBLED TIMES

The actress has had a troubled time in recent years, having been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.

In 2019, it was reported that the actress was ordered to spend 30 days in a rehab facility after she pleaded no contest to a number of extreme assault charges.

She was also pulled over in September 2008 on suspicion of Driving Under the Influence (DUI).

While a test found no alcohol or illegal drugs in her system, she was charged with one misdemeanor count of DUI.

HAPPIER TIMES

During her recent tough times, Heather has had her daughter Ava to provide happiness.

She recently shared her love for her daughter after her college graduation.
