British actress, Kate Beckinsale, has revealed that she was hospitalised over the weekend because of a ruptured ovarian cyst.

The 45-year-old Serendipity actress shared the unfortunate news on her Instagram page and said that she is going through pains.

She also posted some photos of her receiving treatment in a hospital and thanked everyone who looked after her.

Beckinsale wrote;

“Turns out a ruptured ovarian cyst really hurts and morphine makes me cry.

“So thankful to everyone who looked after me #wobbly.”

Meanwhile, just days ago, Beckinsale appeared well as she hosted the LA Art Show, honouring St. Jude.

Many of her fans in the comment section wished Beckinsale a speedy recovery.

In response to one social media user who commented on her “selfie,” Beckinsale replied,

“It’s actually not a selfie. My mum took it.” “I would not have posted it if we had not noticed someone in a car taking a photo of me leaving the hospital in a wheelchair.

“I have Instagram largely to have my own honest narrative and not have to always be ambushed by stories that come out that are invented. I’d prefer to say what happened than endure speculation and so I chose to share.

“I agree, it’s not a normal impulse but it’s not normal to be photographed in vulnerable situations by people you don’t know either.

“Thank you so much to everyone who has wished me well and lots of love to the girls here who have been through similar or worse, she concluded her comment…”
