Demi Moore's surgery plea

Actors Ashton Kutcher and his wife Demi Moore pose for photographers on the red carpet as she arrives for the screening of the movie 'Happy Tears' at the 59th Berlinale film festival in Berlin, February 11, 2009.

Demi Moore has urged a terminally ill fan not to have plastic surgery to look like her.

The 'Ghost' actress doesn't want 29-year-old Lisa Connell to go under the knife before she dies, insisting she is already beautiful.

She wrote on social networking website Twitter: "Wish I could contact this woman Lisa Connell who wants to have surgery to look like me and encourage her to not to! She is a beautiful girl!"

Lisa has terminal cancer and had announced plans she was going to spend $60,000 on surgery in a bid to resemble her idol.

Lisa decided to have liposuction, a breast enhancement, an eyebrow lift and work on her skin and teeth shortly after she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in 2006.

She said: "People think I'm crazy for doing this, but I know it will make my last months or years happier.

"When I was young I used to watch Demi Moore in films like 'Ghost' and I longed to look like her.

"I want to die beautiful, so this is my way of taking back control of my body."
