LONDON (AFP) - Amy Winehouses fans begged her to get help Tuesday after the troubled British singer was filmed purportedly smoking crack cocaine.
On its website, The Sun newspaper released footage of Winehouse, 24, in which she appears to inhale from a crack pipe.
The soul vocalist, seated in front of one of her wedding pictures, claimed she had just taken "about six valium" before lighting up.
The Sun alleged that Winehouse "took hit after hit of the deadly drug after a 19-minute binge in which she snorted powdered ecstasy and cocaine".
A spokesman for the star declined to comment.
The video was purportedly filmed after 5:00 am last Friday at her east London home, hours before she attended a court hearing for husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
He is awaiting trial on charges of assault and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
Her record company, Universal, said: "We are deeply disappointed and upset by these latest revelations and are doing everything we can to offer Amy our full support in dealing with her problems," according to the BBC.
On her official online fans forum, people pleaded with the singer to change her ways.
The footage showed "what we feared the most," wrote one contributor, sjwatson. "Amy, dont waste your life."
Another fan, Rebba urged her to get of London and forget about her husband "and the druggies that flock around you. Kick em all."
First-time poster Frank 1962 urged her not to join the "stupid club" of dead rock stars.
Winehouse, who has earned six Grammy nominations -- the music industrys most prestigious awards -- is due in court in Bergen, western Norway, on February 29 after being arrested and fined for drug use and possession of marijuana.
She was admitted to hospital last year, reportedly after bingeing on drugs, and abandoned her recent British tour following a handful of shambolic concerts, raising more concerns about her health.
