Bijou Phillips reportedly has yet to find any donors as she battles kidney disease.
The modelâs friends and relatives âhave gone through the processâ to see if theyâre a match to donate a kidney, according to Us Weekly; however, they were unsuccessful.
Although âthere are no prospective donors right now,â the outlet reported that Phillips and her loved ones are âoptimisticâ about finding a match in the next âcouple of months.â
Amid Phillipsâ hospitalization, a source told Us Weekly that she is âawakeâ and âaware of what is going on,â but her condition remains âdire.â
As Page Six previously reported, the 45-year-old is currently at CORE Kidney at UCLA Health, receiving dialysis while waiting for a kidney donor.
A friend previously donated to the âBullyâ actress in 2017; however, that kidney has now failed and Phillips desperately needs another one.
On Wednesday, the model took to social media, pleading for help from her followers amid her health battle.
Though the actress is in stable condition, she stated that âtime is of the essenceâ as they search for donors.
âI need help finding a kidney,â she wrote atop a photo of her and her daughter, Fianna, when she was an infant. âI am in need of a kidney.â
The âHostel: Part IIâ star called her 2017 kidney transplant an âincredible giftâ that allowed her to live eight more âpreciousâ years with her daughter, whom she shares with incarcerated convicted rapist Danny Masterson.
âI have had many complications since, including the BK virus [also known as Human polyomavirus 1] which led to t both a cellular and antibody rejection,â she added.
Stars flooded Phillipsâ Instagram comments section with supporting messages.
Paris Hilton wrote, âLove you so much sis𼰠Sending you so much love, light, and strengthâ¨â¨â¨â¨â¨,â while her sister Nicky Hilton added, âLove you Bij! â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸.â
The heiressesâ mom, Kathy Hilton, commented, âWe are sending our prayers love and light. đđđđđđđ We love you.â
