Sophia Loren has undergone emergency surgery after being rushed to hospital following a fall at her home.
The 89-year-old movie veteran took a tumble in the bathroom of her house in Geneva, Switzerland, last weekend, leaving her with several fractures including injuries to her hip and femur that prompted a dash to hospital where doctors admitted her for surgery.
The news was confirmed by the team at her self-titled restaurant chain, who shared the news in a post on Instagram, writing: “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.
