A hair stylist for the stars is recovering from several "devastating injuries" after being hit by a drunk driver.
Jenn Lagron sustained "a severely damaged arm" and "a fractured vertebrae in her neck" after she was struck by a vehicle while walking in California on Sunday, April 27, according to a GoFundMe campaign.
The incident happened while Lagron was walking along Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Los Angeles, the New York Post reported.
"While we are endlessly grateful that Jenn survived, her road to recovery will be long and incredibly difficult," the GoFundMe reads. "Jenn has always been a light in the lives of everyone around her full of heart, creativity, and kindness. Now she needs our help more than ever."
A Tuesday update indicated that Lagron had a successful surgery and has started physical therapy. The stylist could face at least a year of rehabilitation, during which she will be unable to work or support herself. Therefore the purpose of the GoFundMe is to help cover Lagron's medical bills, physical therapy, rent and other daily expenses.
"Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean the world to Jenn," the campaign page reads. "Thank you so much for being part of her support system during this unimaginable time."
The GoFundMe has raised more than $54,000 of its $60,000 goal as of Wednesday morning.
Lagron's celebrity clients include Selena Gomez, Stassie Karanikolaou, Shay Mitchell and Chrissy Teigen, according to PEOPLE. Fashion designer Kristin Juszczyk acknowledged the incident in her Instagram story.
"My girl @jennlagron was hit by a drunk driver last night. Sick to my stomach," she wrote, according to Daily Mail "She is the most amazing person and incredibly talented hair artist."
