Rebecca Gibney has given fans an update on her beloved mother Shirley’s health.

The Packed to the Rafters star, 59, took to Instagram recently to inform her followers that her mother is recovering in hospital after a fall.

Rebecca posted a picture of her mother laying in a hospital bed giving a smile and a thumbs up.

Alongside the image, the New Zealand-born actress wrote that she had asked her mother’s permission to share the photo.

‘Mum has said it’s ok to post this pic as she said it looks way worse than it is but she did have a wee fall and is in hospital again for a little while. Nothing broken but a few cracks and bruising,’ Rebecca said.

‘I know how much she loves reading the comments and the well wishes from you all so if you could send a few prayers and some mighty love Shirl’s way we would all appreciate it.’

‘Healing energy travels. Thanks for the love,’ the Halifax f.p. actress added.

Last week, she gave another update on Shirley’s progress, suggesting her mother would be in hospital for a little while longer.

‘Just an update. Mum will be in hospital for a few more weeks. It’s a slow recovery but she’s doing much better. Thank you for all the love,’ she said in another Instagram post.

In the same Instagram post, Rebecca also took the time to reflect on the ‘fragile state’ of the world at the moment.

‘Greed, power, hatred, old men creating wars no one wants. It can be overwhelming. But so can love and kindness and striving for peace. Keep the faith. Do the thing. Life is precious. And Love will find a way,’ she wrote.
