Bijou Phillips reportedly has yet to find any donors as she battles kidney disease.
The model’s friends and relatives “have gone through the process” to see if they’re a match to donate a kidney, according to Us Weekly; however, they were unsuccessful.
Although “there are no prospective donors right now,” the outlet reported that Phillips and her loved ones are “optimistic” about finding a match in the next “couple of months.”
Amid Phillips’ hospitalization, a source told Us Weekly that she is “awake” and “aware of what is going on,” but her condition remains “dire.”
As Page Six previously reported, the 45-year-old is currently at CORE Kidney at UCLA Health, receiving dialysis while waiting for a kidney donor.
A friend previously donated to the “Bully” actress in 2017; however, that kidney has now failed and Phillips desperately needs another one.
On Wednesday, the model took to social media, pleading for help from her followers amid her health battle.
Though the actress is in stable condition, she stated that “time is of the essence” as they search for donors.
“I need help finding a kidney,” she wrote atop a photo of her and her daughter, Fianna, when she was an infant. “I am in need of a kidney.”
The “Hostel: Part II” star called her 2017 kidney transplant an “incredible gift” that allowed her to live eight more “precious” years with her daughter, whom she shares with incarcerated convicted rapist Danny Masterson.
“I have had many complications since, including the BK virus [also known as Human polyomavirus 1] which led to t both a cellular and antibody rejection,” she added.
Stars flooded Phillips’ Instagram comments section with supporting messages.
Paris Hilton wrote, “Love you so much sis🥰 Sending you so much love, light, and strength✨✨✨✨✨,” while her sister Nicky Hilton added, “Love you Bij! ❤️❤️❤️.”
The heiresses’ mom, Kathy Hilton, commented, “We are sending our prayers love and light. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 We love you.”
