Gwyneth Paltrow breaks silence on mom Blythe Danner's health scare after she's taken away in an ambu
Gwyneth Paltrow has shared an update on the health of her mother Blythe Danner after it was reported that she was taken away in an ambulance over the weekend.
The actress, 81, was at a charity event in the Hamptons on Saturday, July 13, Springs Food Pantry's E.A.T. in the Hidden Gardens 2024, and reportedly suffered an unknown health scare.
People reported that an eyewitness at the event noted: "It was early on in the event and she sat there for a while as they took her vitals. It didn't look that bad, but they took her away anyway."
However, it looks like all is well, as a representative for GOOP on behalf of Gwyneth told the outlet that her mother is "completely fine," and a rep for Blythe herself added that she was "absolutely OK."
Back in 2022, the actress revealed in an interview with People that she quietly dealt with the same kind of oral cancer that claimed the life of her husband and Gwyneth's father Bruce Paltrow back in 2002, but after a years-long battle, she was finally in remission.

"Everyone is touched by cancer in some way, but it's unusual for a couple to have the same cancer," she mentioned. She remembered being diagnosed in 2018, saying: "I remember I looked up at heaven and said to Bruce, 'Are you lonely up there?' It's a sneaky disease. But I'm fine and dandy now. And I'm lucky to be alive."
She recalled working in London in 2018 and "I started feeling very woozy and I was forgetting everything. And then I felt a lump in my neck, right next to where Bruce had found his [in 1999]."

Blythe was eventually diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma. "I kept it from my kids for a long time. I wanted to forge ahead as a mother, and I didn't want them to worry." She and Bruce also welcomed son Jake Paltrow, now 48, who is a director.
The GOOP founder also spoke with the outlet and revealed her reaction to the diagnosis. "I was obviously very shocked. It was scary. And it felt really eerie because it was so similar [to my dad's]."

"She went through it with so much grace," the star added. "I was amazed at how strong she was able to be."
Blythe spoke candidly about not having a fear of death and how her perception of loss had shifted since losing Bruce in 2002. "I wasn't quaking in my boots. I don't have any fear of death at all."

"You never get over that kind of loss," she remarked. "Bruce was the heart of our family. And life is so much paler without him around. But grief is the price we pay for love."
"I think we've all become somehow stronger. It's a bit of a crapshoot — this disease and this life. But I've had a career, great kids and a loving husband. I'm very grateful."
