Hundreds of fans took to the comments of her post to wish her a speedy recovery, with many making light-hearted Vampire Diaries jokes.

“You need some vampire blood,” one follower teased. And another quipped: “nina you're not a vampire.”

Some famous pals also added well wishes, including Julianne Hough who said: “That’s my girl! Obviously wouldn’t make jokes if you were not okay…”

Her Vampire Diaries co-star Sophia Bush added: “Nooooo! You poor babe.”

And her Olympian snowboarder boyfriend Shaun White joked: “Just keeping things on brand.”

Shaun, 37, recently opened up about completing his bucket list with Nina after retiring from snowboarding.

“It’s been really fun having time together. Normally I’m off competing and she’s shooting a project or something … but now we’ve got some time together,” he told Us Weekly.

“It’s been fun. We went to Antarctica, Dubai, visited her mom in France, went to Monaco, went to Indonesia. We’ve kind of been all over.”
