The actress addressed the medical emergency in a new Instagram post.
Kate Beckinsale revealed on Saturday that she was hospitalized after an ovarian cyst ruptured.
The leading lady broke the news with a pair of photos showcasing that she’s under medical care. In the first she gives the camera a sad look, displaying her running makeup. In the second she is shown nestled in a hospital bed.
