Denise Richards dresses down in checked shirt and white vest as she takes her daughters Eloise and Lola shopping 

She's been keeping a low profile over the past few weeks after her ex husband Charlie Sheen went public with his HIV diagnosis.

And Denise Richards has been making the most of family time, taking her two youngest daughters Lola, 10, and four-year-old Eloise shopping near their Malibu home on Tuesday.

The 44-year-old dressed down for her day running errands, teaming a checked shirt with loose trousers as she hurried her children to the shops.

Denise layered her loose shirt over a white vest and ditched heels for a pair of comfy boots.

The gorgeous actress and model kept her makeup natural and left her long blonde locks loose for the shopping trip.

Little Eloise looked cute in a denim playsuit and pink cardigan while Lola teamed black and white shorts with a floral print knit and Converse trainers.

Denise is a mum of three, adopting her youngest child, Eloise Joni Richards, in 2011, while she shares Lola and her older sister Sam, 11, with her ex husband Charlie.

Charlie went on the Today Show last month to talk about his HIV diagnosis for the first time. 

Denise had previously stated that she and Charlie, who married in 2002, have had no sexual contact since they split in 2005, and it has been reported that she and her children are free of the virus.

The actor said during his bombshell interview with Matt Lauer that he learned he had the virus 'roughly four years ago' and was always honest about his status with his sexual partners.

'I'm here to admit that I am in fact HIV-positive,' he said. 'It's a hard three letters to absorb. It's a turning point in one's life.' 

Days before the interview, Denise appeared on the podcastAllegedly With Theo Von And Matthew Cole Weiss, and said she will 'always' be there for her ex.

'[It's] up and down,' she said of their relationship. 'I'm always here [for him,] but he's an addict. I believe we move past your s**t. Don't sweat the small stuff. For better or worse, he's going to be in my life for the rest of my life so I personally like to keep the peace. 

'Charlie, when I married him, he wasn't a bad boy. He was sober for almost four years. He was a very different person. His lifestyle was very, very different. He was a former bad boy, I guess. I have a lot of empathy for anyone that struggles with addiction.

'I'm not going to judge the choices they made under the influence. I can only judge the person I'm meeting and I think sometimes past experiences make who you are so I just went off the person I had met and gotten to know and fell in love with. He was very different.'
