Helena did her part to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus by wearing a white patterned mask and social distancing, even as the virus has surged to record numbers throughout the US.
She temporarily pulled her mask down while out to sip on a coffee she picked up while out and about.

While going through some of her old photos, she came upon a trove of snaps featuring her former boyfriend Michael Hutchence, the frontman for INXS.
The two were together for five years in the early 1990s, at the height of INXS’ fame.
She posted multiple black and white snaps of the two embracing.
‘Michael was a very beautiful and kind man, incredibly gifted and soulful. We had the best time and laughed a lot in the years we spent together but eventually we just drifted apart,’ she said.
‘I think I felt too young for the responsibility it takes being with someone older who lived a very different life. And he probably felt something similar.
‘But we never stopped caring about each other. Today I’m sending him love from earth and remembering the sweet, tender, funny, smart and incredibly talented man he was.’
