“A fall at her home in Geneva today caused Ms Loren hip fractures. Operated with a positive outcome, she will now have to observe a short period of recovery and follow a road to rehabilitation,” her team wrote to Instagram immediately after her fall.
The star and fashion icon was rushed into immediate surgery after the incident, at which time it was reported that she would require “at least a few months of rehabilitation,” according to People.
Fans were left wondering what her prognosis was like, and they finally have the answers to their questions.
“Thankfully everything worked out for the best and the Lady will be back with us very soon,” her team reported, according to People. “The whole team at Sophia Loren Restaurant takes this opportunity to wish her a speedy recovery.” (RELATED: Longtime Actress Sophia Loren Explains Why She Came Out Of Retirement For Upcoming Film)
