New Delhi:
'Wild Child' actress Emma Roberts joined teen sensation Justin Bieber and NASCAR stars Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle for "Extreme Makeover" in honour of the Remember Alex Brown Foundation.
Remember Alex Brown was started by the the family of Aexandra Brown, a 17-year-old girl who died driving and texting at the same time on her way to school. The foundation focuses on road safety and is supported by a growing number of young stars
Extreme Makeover visited The Browns to help rebuild their home, now lived in by Alex's parents Jeanne and Johnny Mac, and Alex's 12-year-old sister Katrina
"Extreme Makeover" asked Emma Roberts to join them for two reasons. "She's an incredible young actress," said Ty Pennington, "and she's a teen so she understands how big of an epidemic texting and driving is."
"After hearing Alex's story I just think texting and driving is really a problem," Roberts says. "To hear that this happened to someone so young -- that really kind of was a little bit of a wake-up call. I have a nine year old sister and to think of her losing me, or me losing her -- I can't even comprehend that.
