Moonlighting star Cybil Shepherd‘s recent shopping outing in Los Angeles sparked significant health concerns. Fans were shocked by her thin and fragile appearance as she attempted to keep her balance while leaning on her assistant.
Cybil Shepard was spotted in her first outing in more than a month. She was dressed casually during a quick trip to the grocery store on Monday, January 27, in LA. Wearing dark jeans, a light blue button blouse, and sporting sunglasses, the actress seemed a little out of sorts, and fans immediately noticed.
During the shopping trip, Cybil looked a little off balance and was forced to put her hand on her assistant’s shoulder to steady herself. OK magazine reports that sources close to Shepherd stated, “She has been frail for years, but these photos are shocking. She looked skeletal and was hanging on for dear life to her assistant — it really looks as if she is on her last legs.”
For the most part, Cybil Shepherd prefers to live a low-key life out of the public eye. She rarely speaks publicly, especially about her health. The last public statement Cybil made was back in 2022 about her close friend and former Moonlighting co-star Bruce Willis’ aphasia diagnosis.
“I will always love Bruce. “I just have to say one thing about Bruce — no one else was ever considered for a part when he walked in the room,” Shepherd stated fondly of Willis.

Radar Online adds that Shepherd’s close friends fear for her well-being. The insiders insinuate that she may be suffering from an advanced case of arthritis.
A source revealed: “Her decline is so sad and tragic. She was once a Hollywood bombshell with a body and beauty to die for. But now she looks bloated and frail and has trouble moving without assistance.”
