Ellen DeGeneres reacts to her ex Anne Heche’s car crash
Ellen DeGeneres sent her thoughts to her ex-girlfriend Anne Heche after she was involved in a horrific car crash that left the actor in a coma.
Heche, 53, was taken to hospital last Friday (5 August) with severe burns after she smashed her car into a home in the Mar Vista area of Los Angeles, which then caught fire.
She later slipped into a coma and is in a “critical condition”,
In footage shared by Entertainment Tonight, DeGeneres was asked by a photographer if she shared well wishes to her ex after the crash.
“Sure,” she responded, “I don’t want anyone to be hurt.”
Keeping her comments brief, DeGeneres added, “We're not in touch with each other, so I wouldn't know,” after being asked if she’d been in contact with Heche after the crash.
“It was quite a dangerous accident that happened, wasn’t it?” the cameraman continued.
As she headed to her car, DeGeneres replied: “Sure was.”
The talk show host dated Heche from 1997 to 2000.
Heche is under investigation for DUI, as well as hit and run for the accident that happened when her car left the road at a T-junction, police say.
