A note from Mika has appeared on his website updating his fans on the condition of his sister, Paloma Penniman, who is recovering from serious injuries in hospital following a fall last week.

The 28-year-old was impaled upon spike railings after falling 50 feet from the window of her apartment in Kensington, London.

In the statement on his website, Mika thanked fans for their support: “On behalf of my whole family, we would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and kindness over the past week. Paloma is in a stable condition at the Royal London Hospital."

“Over the coming weeks, Paloma will undergo more surgery and start her rehabilitation programme. Her recovery will be a long and difficult one, but at this point in time, there is no reason to believe that it won’t be a successful one,” added the ‘Grace Kelly’ singer.

“Paloma and the whole family feel extremely lucky and we are eternally grateful to the helicopter response unit, doctors and nurses of the Royal London for saving her life.”
