Lamar Odom's Family Reach Out To Star After His Arrest.

The basketball player and reality star has been offered help by his family after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence
Lamar Odom's cousin Michael Mercer has spoken out in support of the basketball player after he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Los Angeles on Friday.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Lamar, who is married to Khloe Kardashian, was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol in the early hours of Friday morning after he was spotted driving erratically and too slowly.

The reality star is said to have failed a number of sobriety tests and also refused to undergo all chemical tests at the police station.

The news comes amid reports Lamar is abusing drugs and while his family are worried they promise to give him all the support he needs.

Lamar's cousin Michael told Celebuzz: "Of course, all of us in the family are upset about what's going on. We're here for Lamar in whatever he needs... He knows where we are and we support him."

The sportsman hit the headlines recently when it was alleged he had a drug problem which was spiraling out of control.

However, Michael claims any drug use will be a surprise to him.

He said: "This is all very new. I had no knowledge of it. It that's what's allegedly going on and he needs help, he would get my support. If he needs to call or just lay low and get help, we are 100 per cent behind him.

"He is going to do what he feels is right. I'm on his side either way."
