The former 'Made in Chelsea' star has admitted she feels lucky to be alive after she was involved in an accident while travelling around the Southern California city.

Alongside a photograph of her in a hospital gown strapped up to machines, she said: "In a car accident in Los Angeles. Was thrown through the car, feeling lucky to be ok, in bed with concussion. (sic)"

The 27-year-old beauty didn't go into detail about the accident or whether she was driving when the incident took place, but she appears to be on the mend now.

Kimberley jetted across the pond last year in a bid to focus on her modelling career but she hasn't had much luck as shortly after she moved over there, her home was broken into and she was forced to hide in her wardrobe for 20 minutes.

She admitted at the time that she was scared stiff when she caught sight of a "large hooded man with his face covered" breaking into the rented accommodation, and she swiftly decided to seek solitude with her friend in the closet because there was "no lock" on her bedroom door and believed it was the safest place for the pair of them.

Alongside a picture of a blank white space, which was shared on her Instagram account, she wrote: "Tonight. Was just going to bed in our newly rented house. When we saw a large hooded man with his face covered at the door at midnight, with a van outside. Just me and a girlfriend were alone in the house, which was big and up in the hills in Beverley hills totally isolated. We had no lock on our bedroom door. So were very silent and climbed inside the wardrobe in the dark. We were in there for 20 minutes as we heard him try every door around the house, and listened as he broke one. Staying very still as we heard him in every room around the house. (sic)."

Kimberley called the police after the scary incident and, although the culprit was caught, he was allegedly released without any charge.
