Bijou Phillips Gets Life-Saving Kidney Transplant

Bijou Phillips just got a second chance at life. The \”Hostel: Part II\” actress underwent a kidney transplant after months of desperate health struggles that left her hospitalized and on dialysis.

Back in February, Phillips’s team dropped the bomb that she was admitted to CORE Kidney at UCLA Health, where she began receiving dialysis treatment. The situation was serious — serious enough that her reps went public with it, signaling just how urgent things had gotten.

Now, five months later, the transplant is done. Phillips is officially on the other side of one of the most grueling medical ordeals an actor can face. The procedure marks a major turning point after what was clearly a terrifying health crisis.

Details about the donor or her recovery timeline haven’t been released, but the fact that she’s already had the transplant means she’s moving forward — and fast. This is the kind of health scare that stops people in their tracks, and Phillips seems determined to get back to life on the other side of it.
