Her latest update comes after the actress, who also starred in Anchorman and Friends, shared the news on her Twitter on August 10 for the first time.

"Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It's been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. It's been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some asshole blocks it," she tweeted.

She later added: "As one of my friends that has MS said 'we wake up and take the indicated action'. And that's what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing. Thank you".

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, according to the NHS, and can result in a range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation and balance.
