Christina Applegate Hospitalized in Los Angeles

Christina Applegate was hospitalized in Los Angeles in late March 2024. The reason for her hospitalization has not been confirmed by her representatives.

It is unknown whether the hospitalization is related to her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, which she publicly disclosed in 2021.

Statements from Representatives

A representative for the actress told TMZ that Applegate has "a long history of complicated medical conditions that she has been refreshingly open about, as evidenced in her memoir and on her podcast."

Representatives for Applegate have not responded to Parade's separate request for comment regarding her condition.

Background on Applegate's Health

Christina Applegate, the 54-year-old actress known for roles in series like Dead to Me, has been vocal about her health struggles. She recently published a memoir titled "You With the Sad Eyes," in which she describes the daily challenges of living with multiple sclerosis.

In the memoir, she wrote: "When I wake up, I often can't get my arm to move far enough to grab the cup of water by my bed or my phone from its charger."

During a recent appearance on NPR's "Wild Card With Rachel Martin," Applegate discussed her perspective, saying she thinks about death "every day 'cause it's looming" and has made arrangements, including purchasing burial plots. Her memoir has received positive feedback, including from former co-star Chevy Chase, who called her incredibly talented.
