Christina Applegate<\/a> has shared her first video since her months-long hospitalisation<\/a> this year, amid her ongoing battle with multiple sclerosis<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Emmy-winning actress, 54, took to Instagram<\/a> on Tuesday to send \u201clove\u201d to her fans while showing off her glowing new look since her reported discharge in August. <\/p>\n

\u201cFresh hair color, new weird spot on my cheek haha thank you @davestanwell for brightening up my cloudy day,\u201d wrote Applegate with a nod to her hair stylist. <\/p>\n

The Married… with Children star also thanked those who have been supporting her: \u201cLove you and love to you all out there\u201d. <\/p>\n

Fellow A-listers and friends returned the love in the comments section with Ride or Die star Octavia Spencer<\/a> and comedian Chelsea Handler posting fire and love heart emojis. <\/p>\n

Applegate, who was admitted in March, was believed to have spent nearly four months in hospital before her discharge in early August. <\/p>\n

In early September, the Vacation star shared a photo of her \u2018welcome home\u2019 banner made by daughter Sadie. <\/p>\n

\u201cMeant to post this a while ago. My kid is so my kid hahah,\u201d wrote the mum-of-one at the time. <\/p>\n

The actress broke her silence on her hospitalisation in April 2026<\/a> in a social media update. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for the outpouring of love and well wishes,\u201d she posted on Instagram at the time. <\/p>\n

\u201cHealth issues are a constant for me, but I\u2019m a strong chick and I\u2019m getting stronger and better every day. I\u2019m taking a moment to focus on my health, but I\u2019ll be back with more to say soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis<\/a> in 2021, was hospitalised in Los Angeles in March.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was not clear at the time if the reason for her hospitalisation had anything to do with MS.<\/p>\n

Since going public with her diagnosis, Applegate has been open about her health struggles.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year she gave a heart-breaking update, and revealed that she was confined to her bed due to ongoing pain, while talking about how she still tries to take her daughter Sadie, 15, to school.<\/p>\n

“I want to take her; it’s my favourite thing to do. It’s the only time we have together by ourselves,” she told People<\/a> in February.<\/p>\n

“I tell myself, ‘Just get her there safely and get home so you can get back into bed.’ And that’s what I do.”<\/p>\n

Applegate put it bluntly that her life “isn’t wrapped up in a bow”.<\/p>\n

“People’s lives, sorry for lack of a better term, f—ing suck sometimes. So I’m being as honest and raw as I possibly can,” she added.<\/p>\n
