Bijou Phillips Appears in Good Spirits After Health Scare

Bijou Phillips appeared in good spirits during the sunny outing as she continues recovering from her July kidney transplant.
The outing marks another encouraging public appearance for Phillips following her recent surgery.
In July, she was photographed out for lunch in Malibu, Calif., just two weeks after receiving her new kidney. At the time, Phillips was joined by boyfriend Jamie Mazur and similarly opted for a casual summer ensemble and wide-brimmed hat.
Her latest appearance comes more than two months into her recovery, after Phillips revealed immediately following the procedure that she was already feeling significantly better than she had after her previous transplant.

Bijou Phillips Desperately Searched for a Kidney Donor

Bijou Phillips' outing comes months after she made an urgent public plea for help finding a living kidney donor.
Phillips' road to recovery began with a frightening update in February when she revealed she was hospitalized and back on dialysis.
The model and singer was born with underdeveloped kidneys and received her first transplant from a close friend in 2017. However, she later developed complications involving the BK virus, which ultimately contributed to rejection of the transplanted kidney.
"Please help me find a living donor so that I can have more time with my daughter, family, and friends," Phillips pleaded at the time, adding, "Time is of the essence."
The star shares daughter Fianna with ex-husband Danny Masterson.
Bijou Phillips Finally Found Her 'Perfect Match'

Bijou Phillips shared an update from the hospital after finally receiving her second kidney transplant, telling fans she was 'beyond grateful' for the support.
In July, Phillips announced the news she'd been waiting for: she had successfully received a second kidney transplant.
Her brother, Aron Wilson, participated in a kidney exchange by donating his kidney to another recipient. That donation helped Phillips obtain a voucher, and the program eventually connected her with what she called a "perfect match."
"I am beyond beyond grateful to everyone who rushed into help me," Phillips wrote from the hospital after surgery.
Just five days after the procedure, she said she already felt as good as she had four months after her previous surgery and praised her UCLA medical team for giving her a new lease on life.
