Liza Minnelli is resting comfortably following surgery on her back.
The 68-year-old singer-and-actress is recovering in hospital in California from an operation she underwent after breaking her lower spine in a fall at home and has thanked fans around the world for their wellwishes.

She said in a statement: "I am overwhelmed with the amount of love and caring that has been sent my way from all over the world."
The 'Cabaret' star - who missed her good friend Joan Rivers' funeral earlier this month because of her injury - is expected to make a full recovery.
Liza previously explained she had sustained the injury after one of her dogs jumped up at her, causing her to tumble.
She said:"I was picking up my dogs - and they jumped. And I got twisted and fell. I thought it's nothing. But it wasn't nothing. It became something. The operation's next week.
"After an X-ray, seems I busted it and have to have it fused.
"I broke my lower back. Remember a few years ago I was in a wheelchair because I had trouble with my spine? They operated on it then. Well, now, again. They'll have to fuse it."
