View Date:2024-12-23 15:36:50
Ashley Park is on the mend after suffering from "critical septic shock" in December.
The "Emily in Paris" star shared an update on her "hopeful recovery" on Instagram Sunday, revealing that she has returned to Paris as she awaits medical clearance to return set to film Season 4 of the Netflix series.
"I'm deeply moved and thankful for your beautiful messages of support and comfort, your personal stories of sepsis and hospitalization, and truly to every person who has reached out with love," Park, 32, wrote. "Every message has honestly boosted me into a quick and hopeful recovery."
She continued, "I was medically cleared to fly after responding to treatments, and am now recovering and resting in Paris where I was greeted with this incredible warm welcome from loved ones and my'Emily In Paris' fam."
In a carousel of photos, Park included a snap of her hugging the titular "Emily in Paris" star Lily Collins amid her recovery.
"Thank you to @netflix and @emilyinparis for their genuine kindness and gracious patience as I wait to be medically cleared to work," Park wrote. "I couldn't be more excited to join then all on set for Season 4. I promise im breathing through this all and taking as much care of myself as I can to get back into fighting shape."
She added, "In the meantime, thanks for the couch cuddles @lilyjcollins ;)."
Collins, 34, commented, "Couldn't love you more and hugging you made me feel like home. You're an absolute light sister."
Ashley Park recovers with 'Emily in Paris' co-star Paul Forman by her side
The "Joy Ride" star shared several photos of herself in a hospital bed on Instagram on Jan. 19, revealing she became seriously ill over the holidays.
"While on holiday in December into New Years, what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock, which infected and affected several of my organs," she said. "I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told."
Park said she went to "three foreign hospitals," spent a week in the intensive care unit and underwent "countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know."
She thanked Paul Forman, her co-star in Netflix's "Emily in Paris," for being "unconditionally by my side" throughout the ordeal. "I love you Paul," she wrote. "More than I can ever say."
According to the Cleveland Clinic, septic shock is a life-threatening condition that can occur when an infection causes low blood pressure and organ failure. The most severe stage of sepsis, it can lead to brain damage, lung failure, heart failure, kidney failure, gangrene and death, the clinic says.

Park said in her post that she hesitated to share details of her health because she is still in "the throes of recovery," but she is now "safely on the other side of the worst." She added, "Thanks for reading this. I love you all. I'm healing and I promise I'm gonna be okay."
Prior to her health scare, Park had a busy 2023 starring in the road trip comedy "Joy Ride" and appearing on "Only Murders in the Building" and "Beef." She recently appeared as a French teacher in 2024's "Mean Girls," a possible nod to her role as Mindy Chen in "Emily in Paris," after earning a Tony nomination for playing Gretchen Wieners in the Broadway musical.
