"Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev (35) has undergone surgery after her serious bike accident. The catch? The actress is terrified of needles and blood. After the operation, she contacted her fans from the hospital and thanked them for their support.

Nina Dobrev has given her fans a health update following a serious e-bike accident last month. The "Vampire Diaries" actress revealed to her followers on Instagram that "the surgery was a success".

Serious dirt bike accident ended in hospital
More details about Nina Dobrev's accident are not yet known. The actress announced on Instagram at the end of May that she had been hospitalized following a dirt bike incident. At the time, she posted a photo of herself on the bike and then of her lying in a hospital bed - with a neck brace and a splint on her leg.

In the days that followed, Nina Dobrev shared more photos of her leg injury and the recovery process. "Life looks a little different lately," she wrote in one post.

"I'm fine," the actress also wrote on Instagram at the end of May, but there is "a long road to recovery" ahead of her. The actress is certain that her first time on a dirt bike was also her last.
