Father of Blake Lively Badly Hurt in Car Crash
Gossip Girl star Blake Lively flew from New York to her native Los Angeles to be at the hospital bedside of her father, actor and director Ernie Lively, who was seriously injured in an auto accident, celebrity news magazines report.
The elder Lively, 61, perhaps best known for his role in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants films (which starred Blake) and guest work on The West Wing and The Ghost Whisperer, was injured in the morning on October 13.
The Tarzana, Calif., resident was taken to an undisclosed Los Angeles area hospital where he is being treated for a broken back, arm and nose.
"It was pretty bad — he's lucky to be alive," the source says, adding Blake was on the first flight back to Los Angeles to be with her father.
"They are as close as any father and daughter could be — she was beside herself when she got this horrible news. Her dad taught her everything."
Here's wishing Mr. Lively a speedy recovery!

Hi Blake,
I just heard about your father. I am hoping that he get well very soon. Your father and I went to the same church together back in the 80's. He is a very nice person to be around.
