Evangeline Lilly, the Canadian actress best known for her roles in Lost and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has revealed that she is living with brain damage following a serious accident in Hawaii.
In an Instagram video shared on 1 January 2026, Lilly said: 'A lot of you have inquired about the brain scans that you heard I got, and the results came back from the scans and almost every area in my brain is functioning at a decreased capacity.' The actress suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after falling face-first onto a boulder during a beach incident in May 2025, which she announced in a Substack post at the time.
