Christina Applegate has issued a short but thoughtful response to reports that she was recently hospitalized.

The “Dead to Me” actor, who has multiple sclerosis, shared a statement on her Instagram account Monday alluding to recent health concerns but did not confirm or deny the reports.

“Thank you for the outpouring of love and well wishes,” she wrote. “Health issues are a constant for me, but I’m a strong chick and I’m getting stronger and better every day.”

“I’m taking a moment to focus on my health,” she continued, “but I’ll be back with more to say soon enough.”

As of Monday afternoon, Applegate’s post had drawn a plethora of well-wishes, including from some of her famous pals.

“Christina, just in case today’s mail got lost: We the public would like to formally submit that we adore you, support you, and RIDE AT DAWN FOR YOU ALWAYS,” actor and singer Cheyenne Jackson wrote.

Actor and TV host Jerry O’Connell added: “Always here, CA! Heart you!!!”

Applegate’s post comes just days after TMZ reported she was hospitalized in Los Angeles. Though short on specifics, the report claimed the actor had been admitted to the hospital in late March, and noted that “MeSsy,” her joint podcast with Jamie-Lynn Sigler of “The Sopranos,” had begun a hiatus March 31.

“I have no comment whether she is in the hospital or what her medical treatments are,” a representative for Applegate later told Entertainment Weekly in response to TMZ’s report. “She’s had a long history of complicated medical conditions that she has been refreshingly open about, as evidenced in her memoir and on her podcast.”

Applegate, 54, went public with her MS diagnosis in 2021. Since then, she’s become an outspoken advocate for others living with the autoimmune disease, which impacts one’s ability to walk and move independently.

Appearing on Hoda Kotb’s “Making Space” podcast last year, Applegate described her experience with MS as “disheartening” and said she felt her symptoms had been “getting worse.”

“I have days where I can’t even walk to the bathroom, so I am defined by it,” she said at the time. “I’m angry at it still, and there’s a lot of us out there who are newly diagnosed that are not quite ready to accept this reality. I keep thinking that I’m just going to wake up from this nightmare, and it’s just going to be over.”
