'Resident Evil' star Milla Jovovich may play tough women in her films, but in real life, the model-turned-actress has a soft spot for the people she works with.
Milla Jovovich recently took to her official Facebook page to speak up about the horrific incident that happened on the South African set of 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter,' where stuntwoman Olivia Jackson suffered a near-fatal accident that left her in a medically-induced coma.
"I sit down to write this post with a heavy heart, because a terrible accident rocked our set on Saturday the 5th of September. My incredibly talented stunt double, Olivia Jackson, collided with a camera crane while performing a motorcycle stunt and it put her in the hospital with severe, multiple injuries," Jovovich wrote.
"The cast and crew of 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' have been totally devastated and are waiting with bated breath for news on her recovery -we now understand she is stable and being carefully monitored by very experienced South African doctors."

Milla Jovovich admits that Olivia Jackson's survival is amazing news.
"It's a miracle that she survived," Jovovich wrote. "I didn't know her very well, as we were all just getting going with the film, but the few times we rehearsed together, I really looked up to her because she danced through the choreography, beautiful and graceful. It's a testament to Olivia's strength that she managed to survive and also the quick reaction of our on-set safety officer and his team that she has finally been pronounced stable."
The model/actress also asked her followers to pray for Olivia Jackson.
"I would really appreciate it if you would take a moment out of your busy days ahead and pray for Olivia's full recovery too," Jovovich wrote. "She needs all the help she can get right now and every bit of the good energy we can send."
Milla Jovovich signed off her message, "Thank you, m."
'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' will be released on September 2, 2016.
