Hilary Swank has growth removed in hospital

Actress receives treatment at LA medical centre

Actress Hilary Swank was well enough to attend New York Fashion Week

Hilary Swank is recovering in hospital after having a minor operation to remove a growth.

The actress, 34, was taken to a medical centre in LA after becoming ill this week.

‘[Hilary was] experiencing some discomfort and went to see her doctor who prescribed an immediate course of action that included a brief hospitalisation to remove a small, benign growth,’ her manager Jason Weinberg tells People.

‘Her condition has been resolved and there are no continuing health issues, with the exception of some short-term rest and recuperation.’

Hilary has just finished shooting a biopic of famous aviator Amelia Earhart.
