Kate Beckinsale has been admitted to hospital with a ruptured ovarian cyst.
The 45-year old actress has shared a picture of herself in a hospital bed on Instagram. "Turns out a ruptured ovarian cyst really hurts and morphine makes me cry, " she wrote. "So thankful to everyone who looked after me #wobbly."
Actress Isla Fisher asked: "Are you okay? Sending you so much love?" while singer Natalie Imbruglia said: "Oh no... wishing you a speedy recovery."
The health difficulty comes on top of Beckinsale's admission on January 1 that 2018 had not been a great year for the actress. She posted a message on Instagram declaring that the past 12 months had "a lot of good and a lot of rough."
"2018 you had a lot of good and a lot of rough, " she wrote. "I am glad and relieved you are over."
And I am so thankful to our dear friends who laughed with us through the fun stuff and held us up for the hard stuff.
"Thankful to my insta family who I believe are the wittiest funniest dearest followers anyone has."
Beckinsale, who has a daughter with the actor Michael Sheen, had words of advice for her many followers: "Hold your families close."
