Lola Sheen - the daughter of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards - is starting anew after hitting 'rock bottom'.
The 19-year-old revealed this week that recovering from recent rough patch restored her faith in Christianity, which subsequently prompted her decision to be baptised.

For those unfamiliar with the rising star, Lola is the youngest child of the Hollywood couple, who tied the knot in 2002 after meeting on the set of Good Advice two years earlier.
They previously welcomed Lola's elder sister, Sami, who was born a year prior.
Sheen and Richards eventually called time on their relationship in 2006 - despite still raising their two daughters amicably - with the Two and a Half Man actor going on to marry and divorce Brooke Mueller, before dating pornographic actress Rachel Oberlin and model Natalie Kenly.
Richards, meanwhile, went on to wed Aaron Phypers - both of whom Lola now resides with in Malibu, California.

As we say, however, the teen this week made the decision to open up on her turbulent wellbeing in the caption of a series of photographs of her being baptised.
Writing in an Instagram post on Wednesday (22 Jan), Lola shared what she described as her 'testimony', beginning: "When I was in my deepest depression, there was a moment where I realized I hit rock bottom.
"I felt so lost and hopeless, and was just doing my best to make it to the next day. I just accepted my life was going to be like that forever, and thought I would never genuinely laugh again."

The reality TV star - who shot to fame in 2008 after appearing alongside her mother on E!'s Denise Richards: It's Complicated - went on to explain that, at her lowest, she thankfully met her 'only saviour', 'my best friend, Jesus'.
"I can’t really explain it other than it was supernatural, but Jesus met me exactly where I was, and He forever became my sun," Lola - who has since launched a faith-based podcast, and runs a Youtube channel called 'Heavily Bonded' - added.
"I began to trust Jesus with my life, when He chose me when no one else did, and loved me when I didn’t feel worthy of love. He gave me a light, when I couldn’t find my own, and rescued me from the darkness."
The teenage media personality went on to describe the 'severe anxiety' she'd previously been battling behind the scenes, revealing that after turning to religion, she '[found] myself laughing again, in places I only had cried'.

"Jesus fulfilled His promise of making me new, and completely renewed my mind. Jesus is the only reason why I’m here today and made my life worth living."
Opening up on her decision to officiate her faith by being baptised, she added: "I made it through this year only by the strength of Jesus, and I am so happy to go into this next year, after publicly declaring Jesus as my Savior.
"I am forever saved by His grace, through Faith. I thank you Jesus for everything, I love you, and I hope you are proud of me."
