"There's just a handful of people in the world who understand the kind of intense attention that Britney goes through, and how to raise a family with some semblance of privacy and how to keep one's family intact and out of the limelight."

The source also told the magazine: "There are no expectations, there is no agenda. It's simply an act of human kindness - one neighbour reaching out to the other."

Gibson used to live near Spears in Malibu.
