Angelina Jolie‘s daughter Shiloh was pictured hobbling on crutches on Sunday, hours after the actress revealed two of her daughters had undergone surgery.
The 13-year-old carefully propped herself up with the medical supports, on an outing to buy flowers with her mother and sister Vivienne, 11.
In a Time magazine essay published Sunday in honour of International Women’s Day, Jolie wrote that both her eldest daughter, 15-year-old Zahara, and her younger sister were operated on.
‘I have spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter and days ago watched her younger sister go under the knife for a hip surgery,’ the 44-year-old Maleficent actress, a contributing editor for Time, began her essay.

According to new reports the surgery was the reason Angelina’s ex-husband Brad Pitt missed the BAFTAs last month.
He cited a ‘family obligation’ as his reason for asking co-star Margot Robbie to pick up his Best Supporting Actor gong for his role in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. According to Page Six, he has been at his daughters’ bedsides as they recover.
Jolie, who did not name Shiloh in her essay, wrote that she was impressed by how the family came together during this time of pain.
‘They understand that going through medical challenges and fighting to survive and heal is something to be proud of,’ Jolie wrote.

Jolie, who stars in the upcoming film Those Who Wish Me Dead, has bravely admitted to her own operations in the past – including a double mastectomy and having her ovaries removed as a preventative measure to ward off cancer.
But this time she spoke out about her children’s procedures.
‘They know that I am writing this, because I respect their privacy and we discussed it together and they encouraged me to write,’ she explained.
‘They understand that going through medical challenges and fighting to survive and heal is something to be proud of.’
