Halle Berry Hospitalized After Suffering On-Set Accident

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Actress Halle Berry was reportedly rushed to a Los Angeles hospital after she suffered a head injury on set.

According to TMZ the 45-year-old actress fell and hit her head on concrete during shooting for the upcoming film The Hive.

An ambulance was called to the scene of Berry’s accident and she was reportedly taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center around 10 p.m. Tuesday night.

Filming was completely shut down after Berry’s accident, according to an X17online.com report.

Halle Berry has suffered a number of  on-set accidents throughout her career.  Last year, the actress broke her ankle while filming Cloud Atlas in Spain.

In 2002, Berry obtained an eye injury during  the filming of the James Bond movie Die Another Day. After that incident, she was hospitalized for a broken arm while shooting Gothica in 2003. She also suffered a head injury in 2004 when she was hit in the head by a lighting prop on the set of Catwoman.

This time Berry had been working on the set of the The Hive when her accident occurred.  In the thriller, she ironically plays a 911 operator working to save the life of a young girl, played by Abigail Breslin. The film is directed by Brad Anderson and written by Richard D’Ovidio. The Hive also stars Tara Platt, Evie Thompson, David Otunga, and Michael Linstroth.

A rep for Halle Berry has not commented on her medical condition at this time.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
