Overview
- In a Jan. 1 Instagram video, the 46-year-old actor said scans showed “almost every area” of her brain is functioning at a decreased capacity.
- She described the findings as brain damage from a traumatic brain injury and said additional contributing factors may be under review.
- The injury stemmed from a May 2025 blackout on a Hawaii beach in which she fell face-first onto a boulder; she has long reported fainting spells without a confirmed diagnosis.
- Lilly said she will work with doctors “to get to the bottom of” the issues and begin what she called an “uphill” recovery.
- Public support poured in from colleagues including Michelle Pfeiffer and Rebecca Mader, and Lilly remains on hiatus from acting.
