Busy Philipps Suffers Terrible Fall Down Stairs In SHOCKING Video Footage

Actress Busy Philipps shared a video of a terrible accident that occurred in October just outside her New York apartment. She posted her home security footage to Instagram, in which she was seen tumbling head-on down the stairs.

Philipps expressed gratitude for being alive and was relieved to have survived the incident unharmed. She also revealed that she was sober at the time of the incident to squash any accusations of being drunk from fans.

The "Cougar Town" alum took time to retrospectively look at the just-ended year of 2022, saying that although it was filled with its share of sad turns, she didn't die after all.

Philipps captioned a security video of a terrifying accident involving her, "2022, you broke my fucking heart in multiple ways, but at least you didn't kill me." She added, "Here's to 2023!"

The actress could be seen in the video wearing a silver sequin dress, a black jacket, and boots as she walked her dog, Gina, outside her New York apartment. Suddenly, she slid on the front stoop and fell to the ground before hitting the pavement.

The video proof follows Philipps' podcast episode from last October, "Busy Almost Died!," in which she described the mind-blowing experience.

Whether or not external forces were responsible for the fall is not known, but one thing is for sure: Philipps wasn't drunk.

In the second part of her caption, she expressed her shock at the turn of the event but was grateful for not injuring herself, deeming it a miracle.

"Please enjoy this video of me miraculously tumbling down the front stoop in October and not injuring myself at all (also, just FYI, I was sober). Listeners of the pod, this is for you and our collective light teams," the "Girls5eva" actress wrote.

After the fall, from which she emerged uninjured, she fixed her hair before reaching for her phone to text her ex-husband, Marc Silverstein, who was inside with their children.

Philipps shares two daughters with Silverstein: Birdie, 14, and Cricket, 9.

Back when she first described the accident on her podcast, the "Freaks and Geeks" actress jokingly compared the horrendous experience to the popular fake Jason Derulo meme that depicts a man in a suit at the Met Gala falling down the steps.

"That is literally in my head what was happening. I was flying … when I landed on the sidewalk, I was like, looking up at the trees, and I was like, 'How am I not dead?'" she narrated, per the New York Post.

Philipps also said that she was relieved with how things turned out because dying that way would have been pointless.

"I'm not gonna f***ing die falling down stairs, I can't. What a bummer. It's not for me," she added.

The footage of Philipps in the mishap drew a lot of reactions from her friends and fans, who expressed shock at the incident while showing gratitude that she was safe.

A fan said, "This sums up 2022 perfectly. We just keep getting up. Love you Busy... Thank you for your example! Happy new year!"

"Queer Eye" co-host Jonathan Van Ness reacted to the footage, writing "Holy s***" and adding, "But the pop-up was so hardcore! Earrings check / ears attached still, OK going back to watch again."

Another fan said, "It's the heels flying through the air and then snapping up gracefully like a gymnast for me. A solid 10."

One fan expressed shock at the accident, asking, "How are you alive!?" before going on to thank the actress for sharing her story. "My imagination could have never concocted this amazing feat when you described it in the pod. Far better than advertised," he said.

Another stunned fan wrote, "I've watched this a million times… how are you alive!! Happy New Year Biz… so thankful for you and the pod and the light you all bring."
