Shakira took to social media to share an update with worried fans after rumors swirled she may have been the one in an accident.
"Guys, I’m getting a lot of messages of concern that I was seen in an ambulance in Barcelona recently," she wrote in a tweet shared on Saturday, June 4. "I just wanted to let you know that those photos are from last weekend (the 28th), when my dad unfortunately had a bad fall and I accompanied him in an ambulance to the hospital where he is recovering now."
She concluded the message, "Please do send all your best wishes his way and thank you all as always for all of your love & support."
