The 37-year-old model and former president and Creative Director for Phat Fashions was seen taking her daughters Ming Lee, 12, and Aoki Lee, 10, shopping in the upscale neighbourhood of Beverly Hills on Wednesday.

According to the New York Daily News, Honsou walked out on Kimora after 'a big fight over money'.
Reports also claimed Kimora's former husband Russell decided to stop funding the pair's lifestyle.
Back in June, Trulia Luxe Living blog reported that Kimora was selling her Beverly Hills home at a $1.2m loss.
Representatives for both Honsou and Simmons kept quiet about the alleged split.

Bobbi Kristina involved in car accident with boyfriend Nick 'as couple argued'

Bobbi Kristina Brown was involved in a car accident on Sunday
The 19-year-old actress - the daughter of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston, who died in February this year - was a passenger in boyfriend Nick Gordon's black 2012 Camaro when it was severely damaged in Georgia at the weekend.

Battered: The aftermath of the black Camaro car crash involving Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina

Arguing: Nick Gordon and Bobbi Kristina Brown at the Los Angeles premiere of Sparkle in August

It is currently unclear how the accident happened.

According to gossip website TMZ.com, the couple had been arguing at the time of the crash - which destroyed the entire front end of the vehicle - and Nick's Camaro was the only car involved. No one was injured.

 

After the accident, the car was left without a front bumper and right front tyre, and the airbags were deployed, but it somehow got back to the couple's apartment.

Police visited the house soon after the accident following a noise complaint, but no one answered the door.

Close bond: Bobbi and Whitney attend the Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged in February 2012

An incident report shows officers saw the vehicle parked outside the property with its hazard lights on, and it appeared to have been driven in a 'damaged state'.
The accident is currently under investigation.
Bobbi and Nick lived together as brother and sister for more than a decade before Whitney's death.
The chart-topping singer took Nick into her home at the age of 12 when his father went to prison and his mother was unable to take care of him.
Nick was the superstar's unofficially adopted son, and she treated him like family up until her death.
Whitney was found dead in a Beverly Hills hotel room on February 11, 2012.
The six-time Grammy award winning singer,  died at the age of 48 due to an accidental drowning complicated by heart disease and cocaine use.
Nick first fueled rumours about a relationship with Bobbi Kristina in a tweet written in March, shortly after Houston died.
He wrote: 'Yea we got a little closer and what!!!'
The controversial couple have reportedly been sharing her $1.2million Atlanta home together ever since.
By the age of 30 Bobbi will have inherited everything that belonged to her iconic mother - mansions, jewellery, cars, and an extraordinary fortune.
She recently did a guest stint on Tyler Perry's sitcom For Better Or Worse.
And the mourning starlet is currently filming her upcoming reality show, The Houston Family Chronicles, which has been picked up by Lifetime.
