Personal life

Helmet was involved in several traffic accidents and was briefly detained. Adolf Hitler's murder charges against her from a car accident were dropped, according to Nazi Party Press Chief Obergruppenführer Otto Dietrich's book The Hitler I Knew.

After her film career came to an end in 1935, Helm married Dr. Hugo Kunheim, an industrialist. Helm said she resigned from film because "the Nazi takeover of the film industry had her heart" in 1935." She had four children with Kunheim in Switzerland. She refused to give any interviews about her film career in her later years.
