Angelina Jolie's reclusive godmother - a Hollywood legend - has broken cover for the first time in over a year as the actress deals with family crisis. Jacqueline Bisset, 79, confirmed that she and Jolie, 49, are still on good terms as she spoke briefly while on a trip to a pet shop in Los Angeles this week. But British-born Bisset, who was close friends with Jolie’s late mother Marcheline Bertrand, stayed tight lipped when asked if she had any contact with the star's children. Bisset made a name for herself in Hollywood decades ago with starring roles in Murder on the Orient Express and Bullitt. She grew close to Jolie's family after starring with her father Jon Voight in thriller The End of the Game in 1971, and over the years has gushed over her A-list goddaughter. 'I find her rather extraordinary,' she said at the Los Angeles premiere of Jolie's movie Original Sin in 2001. 'Her whole aura is breathtaking, and it's amazing how much she's changed in different stages [of life]. She's evolved so much.' When asked this week whether she is still close with Angelina, she replied simply: 'Yes, everything's good.' Jacqueline, who turns 80 in September, wore a large smile on her shopping trip for pet items, stopping briefly to answer questions. She donned a comfortable blue shirt, jeans, sandals and stylish sunglasses for the jaunt in Los Angeles. But Bisset stayed silent when questioned over Jolie's children, who have made headlines in their own right in recent years following the breakdown of her marriage to Pitt. The couple's son Pax suffered a terrifying accident a week ago after crashing his electric dirt bike into the back of a car stopped at a red light. Witnesses at the scene said Pax immediately complained about pain in his head and hip after the crash, and was rushed to hospital as paramedics feared he suffered bleeding on his brain. A source close to Angelia Jolie told Dailymail.com she's 'by his side in hospital' where he remains in a stable condition.' The full extent of his injuries are not yet clear. But despite their lack of contact, a source told DailyMail.com: 'Brad is distraught and worried over Pax's accident, but he is unable to reach him. Pax has been been estranged from Pitt since an alleged domestic violence incident with on a private jet with ex-wife Angelina in 2016. In an Instagram post from 2020, he called his Pitt a 'world class a***hole' and an 'awful human being'. 'You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want,' he added. 'But the truth will come to light someday.' At the time, sources said Pitt found it 'depressing to see this dragged up.' And following Pax's accident, sources said the divide between Pitt and his adopted son left him heartbroken. 'It is very upsetting to Brad whenever he hears of one of the kids being hurt and he feels completely powerless because there is nothing that he can do at all.' 'A father's inclination would be to go to the hospital, or to call him. He's tried so many times but the kids won't take his calls. His hands are tied.' n'Brad doesn't think that Pax should be driving a scooter without a helmet to begin with - he should have been in a car,' the insider said, in a subtle swipe at Angelina. Jolie adopted Pax from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in 2007 when he was three. He had been dumped as a newborn by his heroin-addicted biological mother.

Angelina Jolie was reportedly 'shocked and worried' after learning that her son Pax had crashed his e-bike in Los Angeles.The 20-year-old — whom Angelina shares with her ex-husband Brad Pitt — is 'still recovering' in the wake of the devastating crash, a source told People on Wednesday.They added that he was currently 'uncomfortable' and would 'need further treatments' down the line. The update comes just days after Pax was released from the ICU, when a source previously said he would face a 'long road of recovery.'Angelina's son crashed his e-bike into the back of a stopped car at an intersection on the crowded Los Feliz Boulevard on July 30. Complicated the matter was the fact that Pax appears to have hit his head when he collided with the car, and he was not wearing a helmet at the time.The source added that he was 'very lucky' to not have more significant injuries. 'It could have been much worse since he didn't wear a helmet,' they said.Although the crash was devastating for his mother Angelina to hear about, she and his sibling had come together to support him in the aftermath.'Angie was shocked and worried when she got the call about the accident,' the source said, adding that her five other children — Maddox, 22; Zahara, 19; Shiloh, 18; and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16 — 'are supporting Pax as best as they can.'A source previously told People that Angelina's son had 'suffered complex trauma' from the crash, and he will reportedly require physical therapy to aid his recovery.Pax's medical emergency happened amid his ongoing estrangement from his father Brad Pitt. An insider exclusively told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Brad has been distressed over getting 'radio silence' from his family regarding Pax's condition.'Don't expect Pax's accident to bring the family dynamic back in any way as Pax is 100 percent on Angie's side and doesn't want any well wishes or remorse from Brad,' the source continued.Although Brad was 'upset' that his son was injured and hoped to 'help out in any way possible,' the insider said that prospect 'doesn't seem to be something that will ever happen since there is a forever disconnect and divide between them all.''It is gutting Brad that it has got to this point that he can't even be a worried dad, as all he is getting is radio silence from finding out exactly what is going down with his son,' they added. 'It is just another distressed circumstance that is part of Brad's normal life.''He wishes that everyone could be above it all since this situation involves people's lives, but emotions as they are between Pax, Angie and Brad are so bad that there will never be a time where it gets to a place where things are OK,' the insider said.However, another source close to Angelina claimed that Brad had made 'no effort' to try to see Pax since his crash.'All Angelina wants is peace, but he is determined to continue fighting her and blaming everyone but himself for the situation he's now in,' they said. Pax was adopted by Angelina in Vietnam in 2007 at age three. Brad later joined her in adopting him in 2006. Angelina and Brad are legally divorced but are still fighting over the sale of Miraval, the vineyard in France.Last week, the Eternals star accused Brad of trying to have her sign a $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement related to her allegations of abuse, according to People.She had previously accused him of assaulting her on a private jet while they were traveling with their children.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's son Pax has been released from ICU following his e-bike crash.The 20-year-old will have a 'long road of recovery' and 'suffered complex trauma' a source told People of his condition.'Pax has been released from the ICU. He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy.' The insider added that Pax and Angelina, 49, 'are deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received.' The Oscar winner remains by her son's side, as well as his other siblings, with the source noting they 'have been visiting and helping', and adding, 'They are all very close.'As for Pax's estranged father Brad, a rep for the 60-year-old actor declined to comment when asked by DailyMail.com if he planned to visit his son in hospital. It comes following claims that the actress is reportedly seeking help for her 'troubled' son. Angelina has been by Pax's side at the hospital since he crashed into a car during rush hour in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles on Monday, July 29.He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. A source told TMZ on Tuesday that witnesses who lived nearby initially believed Pax had died in the crash as they discovered him lying lifeless on the ground. It was not until paramedics arrived at the scene that Pax regained consciousness. Page Six is reporting that this was not the first time the young man has been involved in incidents involving two and four wheeled vehicles. 'His friends are concerned about him,' an insider told the outlet alleging, 'He's being reckless. They're worried.' DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Angelina for comment. 'He has had a string of car crashes,' the source asserted. 'It's not great. Pax is a troubled kid, and Angelina is doing her best to help him.' The publication reported that LAPD sources said there was nothing new to add to the initial report of a traffic collision, when asked if charges might be pending. Responding police and paramedics opted to rush Pax to the hospital after he complained of head pain.
Despite his injuries, TMZ's source claimed that Pax's bike did not show any obvious signs of damage.Pax — who like several of his other siblings is estranged from his famous father — had reportedly been driving down Los Feliz Boulevard around 5 p.m., which put him on the regularly crowded street during rush hour traffic. According to law enforcement sources, he had been coming up to an intersection when he crashed his bike into the back of the car, which had already stopped for the red light. The car's driver reportedly did their duty by getting out and checking on the injured Pax before police and paramedics arrived. Although it's not clear exactly where he collided with the car, witnesses at the scene said he complained of pain in his hip, and they said he appeared to have injured his head in the crash.In recent months, Pax has been spotted around Los Angeles riding on a Talaria Sting R MX4 electric bike, which costs around $3,000, though it's not known if that was the same bike he crashed. He was most recently pictured on the dirt bike on July 11. Notably, he wasn't wearing a helmet when he was pictured riding the bike in public. California state laws require all bike and motorcycle riders under 18 to wear helmets, but it's unclear if the type of bike Pax was riding at the time would have required him to wear a helmet. The crash also reportedly took place on a street near Angelina's Los Angeles residence. Angelina rushed to the hospital to be by her son's beside following the crash. Pax, who was born in Vietnam, was adopted by Jolie at age three, joining siblings Maddox, 22, and Zahara, 19.
He is reportedly close to them as well as siblings Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16. Maddox and Zahara were adopted by Jolie's then-partner, Brad, in 2005 and he adopted Pax in 2008. All three of the older children have been estranged from Pitt following an incident on a private airplane in 2016, when the actor allegedly hit one of his children. No charges were filed after an investigation into the alleged incident. Jolie and Pitt are legally divorced but are still fighting over the sale of Miraval, the vineyard in France. On Thursday, the Eternals star accused Pitt of trying to have her sign a $8.5 million non-disclosure agreement related to her allegations of abuse, according to People. 'In the court paper, the Maleficent star asserted she 'was not acting with malice and the intent to hurt Pitt in response to any custody ruling' when she sold her share of Miraval in 2021.'Instead,' she told the court in the filing, 'it was Pitt who refused to buy her interest unless he received his newly expanded NDA, enforceable by an $8.5 million holdback specifically designed to force her silence about his abuse and cover-up.'
