Drew Barrymore endearingly consoles crying audience member during show: 'Are you okay?'

Drew Barrymore's admirers can always rely on her.

In a video released Thursday to The Drew Barrymore Show's official Instagram account, the actress, 48, can be seen comforting a fan who was crying while filming her daytime series.

"Are you okay? Did anything happen? Whose a-- do I have to kick?" Barrymore says, after hurriedly reaching out to the fan, who later shared that her name is Olivia.

As Olivia's friend described, "She love you so much,” Barrymore reacted, stating, “Oh, thank God it’s nothing bad,” before the woman tells her, "You’re just, like, my childhood idol."

"I don’t want to be that person, to like, cry," Olivia then tells Barrymore, before the talk show host quips, "Screw that! Be that person!"

After hugging a sobbing Olivia, Barrymore sat on the woman's lap.

“I have the urge to do this. This is just such an honor for me to meet you," she said, before playfully adding, "I’m sorry, I have dumpling breath.”

"And it’s so funny that you would say, 'I don’t wanna cry here.' I cry here all the time," the mother of two resumed.

Many fans responded to Barrymore's generous act in the post's comments section, with one commenting, "This is literally the sweetest thing."

Another said, "I feel like Drew sitting on my lap would permanently rewire my brain and cure my lifelong existential angst and insomnia and anxiety."
