LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- Actress and reality TV personality Shayne Lamas remains hospitalized, but her condition is improving, her husband Nik Richie said Tuesday.

Lamas, who was 16 weeks pregnant, was rushed to the hospital Sunday night after she collapsed at her home, TMZ reported Monday. Doctors determined she was bleeding internally and performed emergency surgery during which her baby died, the website said.
