Jeffree Star Updates Condition After Horrifying Car Crash

YouTube star Jeffree Star provided updates on his condition after surviving a horrifying car crash on Friday in Wyoming. The makeup mogul called it “one of the scariest moments” of his life and said he suffered broken bones in his back and spine. His close friend Daniel Lucas, who was his passenger in the car, suffered internal injuries and is facing complications.

“This morning was one of the scariest moments of our entire lives. I’m so grateful to be here still,” Star wrote on Twitter late Friday. “I’m in excruciating pain because part of my back is broken and I have vertebrae fractures on my spine. My doctor said it will take a few months but I should make a full recovery.” In a follow-up tweet, Star said Lucas suffered complications with his organs because h survived colon cancer three times. “We’ll know more soon,” he wrote. “Thank you to every single person checking on us.”

On Saturday morning, Star shared another photo from the hospital, with Lucas in bed and Star sitting up with a brace around his body. “We woke up crying happy tears today. So thankful for everyone’s outpouring love,” Star wrote. “To everyone who wished death upon Daniel and I, we pray you find happiness within yourself.” Lucas will undergo more tests on Saturday and could have surgery, Star noted. Star was discharged, he wrote.

Star and Lucas were in a serious car crash on Friday morning. His car flipped three times after hitting black ice, Star’s team shared in a statement Friday. A person close to Star told 104.7 KISS-FM that Star was driving a new Rolls Royce and was being treated at Wyoming Medical Center.
