The star was on holiday last year when she fell and hit her head on a boulder. The accident occured in May of last year, when the actress fainted whilst at a beach on holiday. She stated at the time that she fell "face first" into a boulder, she posted to social media photographs of her bloodied face after the incident.
The actress suffered a concussion and only weeks later announced that she would be taking a step back from acting.
The 'Lost' star gave an update to fans to explain the extent of her brain injury she said: “Verdict’s in…I do have brain damage from my tbi, comforting to know my cognitive decline isn’t just peri-menopause, discomforting to know what an uphill battle it will be to try to reverse the deficiencies. Thank you all for always asking, for always caring, and for your continued prayers.”
She continued to explain that almost every part of her brain is functioning at a decreased capacity. “My job is to get to the bottom of that with doctors and then embark on the hard work of fixing it, which I don’t look forward to because I feel like hard work is all I do, but that’s okay. My cognitive decline since I smashed my face open has helped me to slow down and helped me to have a more restful finish to my 2025,” she added.
Lily announced her decision to take a step back from acting last year, she said: “Stepping away from what seems like the obvious choice (wealth and fame) can feel scary at times, but stepping into your dharma replaces the fear with fulfilment. I might return to Hollywood one day, but, for now, this is where I belong.”
She added that she intends to spend more time with her family and focusing on her humanitarian work.
