By Emma SaundersEntertainment reporter

Oscar-winning actress Sophia Loren has undergone Emergency Surgery following a Fall In her bathroom at her Swiss home.

The 89-year-old sustained several " serious fractures" to different parts of her hip and femur, her agent Andrea Giusti told the PA news agency.

Loren's representative also confirmed both Loren's sons, Carlo and Edoardo Ponti , were at her bedside.

A spokesperson told Reuters the surgery " went well and now she needs to rest and everything will be resolved".

Loren has had a long career, after being born into poverty in Naples. She went on to become a Hollywood star, winning an Oscar in 1962 for Vittorio de Sica's film La Ciociara (Two Women ) about a wartime mother's rape.

That win was groundbreaking; it was the First Time an actor or actress had won an Academy Award for a role not in the English Language .

She also starred opposite Hollywood greats including Marlon Brando , Frank Sinatra and Cary Grant .

In 1990, Loren also won an honorary award at The Oscars , and in 2021, her career was revived with a critically acclaimed performance in The Life Ahead, directed by Loren's son Edoardo.

The Star played a Holocaust survivor who forges a bond with a 12-year-old Senegalese immigrant.
