Mia Farrow's daughter Quincy hospitalized after contracting coronavirus, actress begs fans to pray for her
Mia Farrow is begging her fans to pray for her daughter Quincy after she was rushed to hospital following coronavirus complications.
The 26-year-old is fighting for her life after contracting COVID-19 despite her young age.
"A personal request. If you would be so kind, would you please send up a prayer for my daughter Quincy," Farrow wrote on Twitter to update her followers. "Today she had no alternative but to go the hospital for help in her struggle against the coronavirus."
Farrow had expressed her happiness just last week over Quincy's relation with her husband Ethan and her little baby.
"The day my youngest daughter, Quincy married wonderful Ethan. A year later their baby Coretta came along," the Hollywood actress wrote alongside a family snap of the young couple's wedding day. "Happiest memories rolling by from home in lockdown."
Mia has 14 children, 10 of whom were adopted at a very young age — including Quincy, who was just one year old when Farrow adopted her in 1994 after splitting with Hollywood director Woody Allen.
It is interesting to note that Allen is now married to one of Farrow's adopted children. Soon-Yi Previn was adopted by Farrow with her ex-husband Andre Previn, before she eventually got together with her stepfather Allen, Mirror reports.
That said, Farrow and Quincy have themselves had a controversial relationship, which came to light in 2018 when Quincy set up a crowdfunding page asking for $3,000. The fundraising page was still active when Farrow, who has an estimated net worth of $60 million, was gushing over the arrival of her granddaughter Coretta on social media.
Meanwhile, another famous face has succumbed to the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
British actress Hilary Heath of 'The Witchfinder General' fame died last week from coronavirus complications. She was 74.
Researchers across the globe are scrambling to find a vaccine for the life-threatening virus as thousands continue to die every day.
As the worldwide death toll from the coronavirus crossed 104,938, according to Johns Hopkins University, Christians around the globe marked a Good Friday unlike any other — in front of computer screens instead of in church pews — and some countries tiptoed toward reopening segments of their battered economies.
Around the world, public health officials and religious leaders alike warned people against violating the lockdowns and social distancing rules over Easter and allowing the virus to come storming back. Authorities resorted to roadblocks and other means to discourage travel.
In Italy, officials employed helicopters, drones, and stepped up police checks to make sure residents didn't slip out of their homes. On April 8 alone, police stopped some 300,000 people around Italy. About 10,000 were issued summonses.
Some churches held services online, while others arranged prayers at drive-in theaters. Fire-scarred Notre Dame Cathedral came back to life briefly in Paris, days before the first anniversary of the April 15 inferno that ravaged it. Services were broadcast from the closed-to-the-public cathedral.
The holiday observances came as the worldwide number of deaths tracked by Johns Hopkins University hit a bleak milestone of 100,000 since late December, when the outbreak emerged in China. More than 1.7 million people around the globe have been infected, by the university's count.
