EXCLUSIVE: Paramount Covering Medical Bills For Transformers 3 Stunt Victim
Sept. 23 2010, Published 8:18 a.m. ET
Gabriela Cedillo, the young woman injured on the set of Transformers 3, is still in the hospital and although no public statements have been made regarding the accident, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned that the production company is footing the cost of her medical bills.
The 24-year-old is said to be in stable condition and showing small signs of improvement, but she is still unable to speak or eat on her own.
Todd Smith, a representative for Cedillo, told Breaking Celebrity News she is still in the ICU at Loyola Medical Center in the Chicago suburb of Maywood and is somewhat responsive.
"Paramount is recognizing responsibility for those bills," Smith said regarding the exorbitant medical costs that are being taken care of by the production company.
Cedillo has undergone numerous surgeries -- including a tracheotomy for a ventilator, a feeding tube placed in her abdomen and a procedure to remove pressure and provide relief for her brain -- and she remains unconscious.
