Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed to the hospital earlier this week after celebrating her 99th birthday.

The actress' doctor made an at-home visit on Monday, Feb. 8 after Zsa Zsa experienced difficulty breathing, her husband, Frédéric von Anhalt, told TMZ. She was later hospitalized in LA for a feeding-tube-related lung infection.

The Moulin Rouge star will now reportedly undergo surgery to have her breathing tube removed.
