Bijou Phillips has been hospitalized and is urgently in need of a second kidney transplant following the failure of her initial transplant.

The 45-year-old actress is receiving treatment at UCLA Health, where she has resumed dialysis while awaiting a suitable living donor, according to information shared with TMZ on Wednesday.

Phillips originally received a kidney from a friend in 2017, but over time, complications such as the BK virus have resulted in both cellular and antibody rejection, the outlet reports.

Although she is currently in stable condition, her representative emphasized the critical need for urgency in finding a donor.

Phillips was last seen publicly a few weeks ago, attending the premiere of Paris Hilton’s documentary “Infinite Icon,” where she appeared on the red carpet.
