Brooke Hogan said those changes have "been difficult to say the least," especially navigating that in the public eye.

"For my own journey to healing and happiness, I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family, and am focusing on people and things that heal my heart and align with my own personal beliefs, goals and values," she continued.
