Jan. 27 (UPI) -- British actress Kate Beckinsale shared on Instagram this weekend photos of her in a hospital bed after suffering a medical emergency.
One snapshot shows her looking sad, with a supplemental oxygen tube up her nose and over her ears on Saturday. A second image captures her wrapped in a blanket with her back to the camera.
"Turns out a ruptured ovarian cyst really hurts and morphine makes me cry. So thankful to everyone who looked after me #wobbly," Beckinsale captioned the photos.
Beckinsale, 45, is known for her work in the Underworld film franchise, as well as the movies Serendipity, Pearl Harbor and The Aviator.
