Angelina Jolie comforts fan who had a panic attack

Angelina to the rescue!

A fan was comforted by Angelia Jolie after having a panic attack waiting in line outside "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" Thursday, where the actress made a guest appearance.

As the footage below shows, Jolie met a throng of screaming fans outside the studio. As she signed autographs, one girl emerged exclaiming she was having the attack. Jolie quickly rushed to her side, comforting her and even taking a selfie together:

Just to put it out there, I went there to the Daily Show with my Friend to get Angelina Jolie. We was practically in the back then went on the side in hope of getting her. Then the guards added another baracade. Chaos erupted to the point. I was getting squished to the point that I started to have a panic attack. She saw me struggling to the point that the security pull me out and sat down. Angelina didnt leave till she made sure I was ok. Usually I have no problem with getting celebrities but it was too overwhelming for me since I have tone down in the last two months. Im not going to lie about my medical condition since this is something that rarely happens to me and I hope it doesnt happen again. But overall Thank You #AngelinaJolie I will remember this. #celebrity #nyc #actress #TombRaider #LaraCroft

"She saw me struggling to the point that the security pull me out and sat down," Techna wrote. "Angelina didn't leave till she made sure I was ok... Thank You #AngelinaJolie I will remember this."

Jolie was on "The Daily Show" to promote "Unbroken," a biopic she directed about Olympian and war hero Louis Zamperini. It opens later this month.
