Virgina Giuffre's lawyer says her loved ones are desperately waiting for an update after the sex trafficking victim said she has just days to live.
On Sunday, Ms Giuffre, née Roberts, 41, shared a photograph to Instagram of herself from her hospital bed, covered in bruises she said were sustained in a school bus smash.
Ms Giuffre - who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and claims she was sexually assaulted as a teenager by Prince Andrew - said she is now suffering from kidney failure and begged to see her children 'one last time' before she dies after doctors said she had just four days to live.
Brad Edwards, a US lawyer who represented Ms Giuffre in her previous legal cases, said it was a 'very bad situation'.
He tolf they were 'hoping for better news in the coming days' and that he hoped Ms Giuffre would pull through with good medical care.
In a statement given to the BBC, her spokesperson, Dini von Mueffing, said: 'Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital. She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending.'
In her Instagram post on Sunday Ms Giuffree wrote: 'They've given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,' she captioned the photograph. This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won't bore anyone with the details.
'But I think it's important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110kmh as we were slowing down for a turn, that no matter what your car is made of, it might as well be a tin can.'

In the wake of the news, Lady Victoria Hervey, who dated the disgraced Prince Andrew in 1999, took to Instagram to claim 'karma' had reached Giuffre.
She added: 'If Virginia Giuffre really does have days to live then a complete confession is needed.
Without evidence, the socialite wrote: 'I don't believe it though, the FBI are on her right now and arrest warrants are coming. She's conveniently dying to evade jail.
She added, again without evidence: 'I think it's time that Robert Giuffre who has custody of their teenage children to speak [sic]. I know he knows the truth of the fake photo and all her con jobs.'
'[Giuffre] is the Queen of the fake photo after all. Hence I'm such a sceptic and don't believe in jumping to any conclusions right away from a visual.'
She alleged she was trafficked for sex at age 16 after his associate and ex-lover, Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her from her job as a locker room attendant at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Ms Giuffre and Maxwell eventually reached an undisclosed settlement over a defamation case in 2017.
Epstein took his own life in a jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, while Maxwell was jailed for 20 years in 2022 for conspiring with him to sexually abuse minors.
Ms Giuffre alleges Epstein forced her to have sex with Prince Andrew on at least three occasions when she was 17 and that she spent two days alone with the royal in New Mexico.
In 2022 she received an out-of-court settlement reported to be worth millions from the Duke of York.

Due to the shocking nature of the claims, Prince Andrew lost military titles and royal patronages as well as the use of the title His Royal Highness (pictured December 2022)
The settlement accepted no liability and Andrew has always strongly rejected claims.
But he agreed to pay the unspecified amount to Ms Giuffre and her charity for victims' rights.
In the wake of the scandal, Andrew lost his military titles and royal patronages as well as the use of His Royal Highness title.
Her father has previously spoken of his torment knowing he helped his daughter get a job alongside him at the Trump resort, before she was recruited as a masseuse by Maxwell.
'As a parent you kind of ask the question, "How do you not know your children are doing this?",' Mr Roberts said previously.
'But she's a very good actress. When she would come home from these trips she said nothing about it. It must have been killing her inside.
'But for powerful people like that, they can threaten a young girl like that.'
Even Ms Giuffre's father, Sky Roberts, was shocked by his daughter's late night Instagram post and also appeared to be in the dark about the incident.
'Virginia my daughter, I love you and praying you get the correct treatment to live a long and healthy life,' he wrote.
'If there is anything in the world, I can do to help you, please let me know. My spirit is with you now and holding your hand.'
He told DailyMail.com that he is ‘sick to my stomach’ and would do anything to be able to fly from his home in Florida to be by his daughter’s hospital bedside in Australia following a horrific car crash.
‘I’m sick to my stomach. I feel like crying because I love my daughter more than life,’ he said.

‘If there’s anything I could do, I’d do it.’
Ms Giuffre's last known address was with her estranged husband, Robert Giuffre, and their three children at a $1.9million beachfront property in Ocean Reef, North Perth in Western Australia.
American-born Ms Giuffre met her Australian martial arts instructor husband when she was 19 during a trip to Thailand.
The pair married 10 days later and later moved to Australia, eventually settling in West Australia in December 2020.
Eight months later, she filed court paperwork suing Prince Andrew for sexual assault.
But the couple, who had been married for 22 years, recently parted ways, with Ms Giuffre claiming she is now estranged from their three teenage children.
'I'm ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time,' she added in her Instagram post.
'But you know what they say about wishes. S*** in one hand and wish in the other and I guarantee it's still going to be s*** at the end of the day.'
She ended the post, on an account which uses her maiden name, by saying goodbye and thanking her followers for being a 'great part' of her life.
