“Over the weekend a representative stated that Anne was in stable condition but that information was inaccurate. She has always remained in critical condition," a spokesperson for the actress told CNN in a statement.

The representative revealed that the actress had actually slipped into a coma, and has remained that way since the crash.

Shortly before the crash, Anne had revealed that she was filming a romantic comedy over the summer

They further added that: "She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention. She is currently being treated at the Grossman Burn Center."

CNN also reported that the Daytime Emmy award winner is under investigation for a misdemeanor DUI and hit and run, according to LAPD Officer Annie Hernandez.

Since the crash, which quickly had the car erupt into flames, destroying the home of a California resident identified as Lynne Mishele, celebrities who have previously worked with Anne have rallied around her, wishing for her wellbeing.
