Lori Loughlin was spotted with her older daughter Isabella after reports that her other girl, Olivia Jade, was upset after Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli were indicted in the nationwide college bribery scheme.
Loughlin, 54, was seen laughing with Isabella, 20, in Beverly Hills.
They were waiting for a valet to bring their car around in video footage captured and published by TMZ. The pair was shopping, according to the outlet. Footage and pictures showed the mother and daughter hugging at one point.
It was one of the first times that Isabella, an actress and University of Southern California (USC) student, was spotted following the March 12 indictments.

Loughlin also laid low for weeks but was spotted visiting family members and then appeared in Boston to face a judge in the case.
Olivia Jade, 19, has also largely stayed out of the spotlight after her parents were charged with conspiracy. Federal officials said that Loughlin and Giannulli paid William “Rick” Singer $500,000 to get Isabella and Olivia Jade designated as crew recruits at USC, facilitating their entrance.
Singer passed along some of the money to an administrator at the school, prosecutors said, keeping the bulk for himself.
Singer pleaded guilty to racketeering and conspiracy charges on March 12.
Olivia Jade, a YouTube star and social media influencer, saw several partners cut ties with her, including TRESemme and Sephora.
Olivia Jade was “not talking to her parents” because of the situation, a source told Us Weekly in late March. “Olivia blames her mom and dad for this scandal and for the downfall of her career,” another source said.
Us Weekly also reported that Olivia Jade was staying with her boyfriend Jackson Guthy as she deals with the fallout of the scandal. While she declines to speak with her parents, her friends “are encouraging her to forgive them,” a source told the magazine.
A source told People Magazine in early April that the social media influencer “is still distraught and embarrassed,” adding: “She hasn’t been home much.”
“She is very angry with her parents. She just wants to figure out how she can rebuild her brand,” the source said.
Aligning with other reports about her stance toward even attending college as well as Olivia Jade’s public comments on going to school, the source added: “She would have never gone along with it if she thought this would happen. Her thing is that she trusted her parents. Olivia spends most of her time with close friends and her boyfriend.”
Prosecutors said that Olivia Jade was involved in the scheme at least partially, being looped into an email chain in which her mother asked Singer for how to complete the formal USC application after the school accepted the younger girl as a crew recruit.
Some of the children of the 33 parents were aware of what was going on to some extent, officials said, while others did not. No children have been charged in the scheme as of yet.
