Christie Brinkley was treated at a Miami, Fla. hospital for injuries she suffered when trying to save a bird while on vacation in Turks and Caicos.
The model was vacationing with her daughter Alexa Joel in Parrot Cay, where they returned after she got treated, after the rescue mission went horribly wrong.
She took to Instagram to show the injuries to her face, writing, “We interrupt this holiday to take a little unplanned excursion to Miami for cat scans and stitches following an accident trying to save a bird.”
She followed up with photos showing she’s “back in Parrot Cay” and thanked fans for the well wishes as she recovers.
Miami Herald reports she got stitches at University of Miami Hospital and thanked her “A team” of doctors and nurses for their help.
Brinkley also thanked her friend Mindy Moak for staying by her side throughout her stay in the hospital.
