Beauty guru Jeffree Star revealed that he sustained serious injuries from the car accident he was in.
Fox News previously reported that Star and his friend Daniel Lucas were involved in a “serious car accident” Friday morning while the couple were traveling through Wyoming. The car they were in reportedly hit a piece of black ice and turned around three times, Star said.
The couple were taken to Casper Hospital after their accident, Wyoming Highway Patrol Sergeant Jeremy Beck told Fox News.

“This morning was one of the scariest moments of our entire lives. I am so grateful to be still here,” Star told his 6.9 million followers in a tweet he shared on Friday. “I am in excruciating pain because part of my back is broken and I have vertebral fractures on my spine. My doctor said it will take a few months, but I should make a full recovery.”
Star’s health update came nearly six hours after a photo of the beautiful YouTuber lying in a hospital bed was shared on Twitter.
Star also took the time to thank his followers and close the loop for checking in with him and Lucas. He added that his friend is being watched closely by doctors.
