Jeffree Star shares pictures of wrecked Rolls Royce after “severe” crash
Twitter: Jeffree StarYouTube star and makeup mogul Jeffree Star was involved in a “severe” rollover car crash on April 16 while he was driving his Rolls Royce on icy roads, and has now shared pictures of his wrecked car.
Fans were left shocked and concerned after Star’s official Twitter account published a photo of the YouTube star and his friend Daniel in a hospital at 11 AM PST.
The photo showed Star wearing a neck brace holding his friend’s hand, both in hospital gowns and hooked up to IVs.
A caption for the picture stated that the two had been involved in a “severe” rollover crash in Star’s Rolls Royce while out driving on icy roads three hours prior.

According to the post, the vehicle flipped over three times due to hitting black ice. Black ice can be especially dangerous during the winter months, as it is a thin and highly transparent sheet of ice that many drivers can’t see, causing them to lose control on the road.
More information will be revealed later on, but for now, both fans and the star’s team are thankful he is alive.
While Star once made his home in Los Angeles, he has since moved part-time to Casper, Wyoming, where he is currently creating a business and also owns a home, where the crash took place.

Hours later, Star updated fans with another tweet, stating that his back had been broken and that he has multiple vertebrae fractures on his spine that are causing him “excruciating pain.”
That’s not all; the YouTuber claimed that may take “a few months” for him to heal, but he is expected to make a full recovery.
This morning was one of the scariest moments of our entire lives. I’m so grateful to be here still.
I’m in excruciating pain because part of my back is broken and I have vertebrae fractures on my spine.

After updating fans on his condition, Star also shared photos of the wrecked car following the accident, which really drives home just how serious the whole situation really was.
“Thank God a #RollsRoyce is built with highly reinforced steel, because it saved our lives,” the influencer wrote along with shots of the vehicle following the accident.
This was hard but I had to go see my car today. Thank God a #RollsRoyce is built with highly reinforced steel because it saved our lives 🙏🏻 Time to heal and let my body repair. pic.twitter.com/5YY5CVpl1V
