Tori Kelly provided a health update days after collapsing in Los Angeles, reportedly due to blood clots in her legs and lungs.
In a handwritten letter posted to social media Thursday, the singer-songwriter said she's "feeling stronger now and hopeful," but added that "there are still some things to uncover."
"As you may have heard, I'm dealing with some unexpected health challenges," she wrote.
Kelly, 30, was having dinner with friends Sunday when she passed out "for a while," TMZ reported earlier this week. She was rushed to Cedars-Sinai, where doctors reportedly found blood clots around her legs and lungs. Her condition was said to be "really serious" as she was "in and out of consciousness," sources told TMZ.
"It's been a scary few days but I can feel your prayers," Kelly continued in her letter.
Kelly wrote that she was "heartbroken" at not being able to promote her new EP, "Tori," but said her health "must come first." She added that the project represents the "happy place I've been in the last few years. I won't let this hurdle prevent the music from being yours."
She concluded by thanking fans, saying she's "overwhelmed by all of the love and care I have received. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Kelli's husband, André Murillo, reported earlier this week that she is feeling somewhat better.
"Tori is smiling again and feeling stronger," Murillo posted on his Instagram stories. "Not fully out of the woods but we see the sun. Just waiting on a few more answers."
