Alec Baldwin and other stars have taken to social media to send their support to Anne Heche after she was hospitalized following a fiery car crash in Los Angeles.

The 53-year-old Donnie Brasco star is "currently in stable condition" after reportedly sustaining severe burns in a vehicle and a home collision that occurred in the neighborhood of Mar Vista, per The Independent.

Heche was reportedly driving a blue Mini Cooper that crashed with a property on South Walgrove Avenue, causing the house to go up in flames.

Two days after the incident, Baldwin, 64, shared a video on his Instagram on Sunday (August 7) to express his love for the Spread actress, saying: "Hey, I just want to send out my best wishes and all my love to Anne Heche."

Check out Baldwin's video below:

Baldwin first co-starred with Heche in the 1996 thriller The Juror. Later, they worked together on the Broadway play Twentieth Century, which earned the actress a nomination for a Tony Award in 2004.

"She is an amazingly talented woman," the 30 Rock actor continued. "I love you, Anne, I love you and I think you are such a talented person. I hope everything is OK, I hope you come through this."

"My heart goes out to you. I'm sorry you had this tragic thing happen to you, and I'm sending you all my love. Everyone, please join me in sending their support and love to the wonderful Anne Heche," Baldwin concluded.

The Beetlejuice actor isn't the only Hollywood star rallying around Heche after her accident. Actress Rosanna Arquette also took to Twitter to ask for prayers as Heche remains in the hospital. She said that the situation is "really tragic".

The Daytime Emmy Award winner also received well-wishes on social media from her former romantic partners.

Thomas Jane, who dated the actress between 2019 and 2020, and starred with her on HBO's Hung, spoke to the outlet Daily Mail and said: "While Anne and I are no longer an item, today's tragic news was devastating to me and to all who love her."

The Psycho actress' former Men in Trees co-star and ex, James Tupper, from whom she split in 2018 after 10 years, also paid tribute to her on Instagram by sharing a photo of her with their son 13-year-old Atlas - the youngest of her two sons.

"Thoughts and prayers for this lovely woman, actress, and mother tonight anneheche [sic]" he wrote, before adding: "We love you."

According to The Guardian, Heche's Better Together podcast partner, Heather Duffy Boylston, said in a statement following the crash: "Anne is currently in stable condition."

"Her family and friends ask for your thoughts and prayers and to respect her privacy during this difficult time," Bolyston added.

The owners of the house destroyed in the crash, John and Jennifer Durand, have since launched a GoFundMe page to help Lynne Mishele - the woman who was living in the property at the time of the crash - recover the loss of "the place she loves" and most of her belongings.

More than $60,000 of the $100,000 target has since been raised.

The Durands wrote in the fundraiser's description that despite the house being destroyed, it is "more distressing" that Mishele "lost her entire lifetime of possessions, mementos, all equipment" for her business including household items, clothing, laptop, iPad, and necessities.

The Los Angeles police department (LAPD) said on Friday (August 5) that it was investigating the incident but had not determined its cause.

In a statement, they revealed that it took 59 firefighters to extinguish the fire more than an hour to "access, confine and fully extinguish the stubborn flames".
