Reese Witherspoon has admitted that she is struggling to bring up her young children in Los Angeles.

The Legally Blonde star, who was raised in Nashville, TN, moved to LA when her acting career took off in the 1990s.

The 33-year-old told In Style: "Sometimes it's really difficult for me, being far away from home. I never imagined that my children wouldn't grow up next door to my brother's children. Or my mum and dad wouldn't constantly be around."

Before splitting from husband Ryan Phillippe in 2006, the couple had two kids together - Ava, 10, and 6-year-old Deacon.
