Rebel Wilson is recovering well after she was injured on the set of her latest film, "Bride Hard."

The actor said that she was "healing quite amazing" after a stunt injury, posting a video message to her Instagram story on Wednesday.

"The stitches have dissolved out from my on set accident last week," Wilson explained, a healing injury visible on the bridge of her nose.

"I was shooting in an independent movie in Savannah, Georgia," she continued. "In the middle of a night shoot, my last scene of the movie, so I'd done all these kick-ass fight sequences, and then just in the last one got hit in the face with the butt of a gun."

Wilson posted on her Instagram story on August 3 to reveal that she had to go to the hospital after a "stunt accident" that took place at 4 a.m., Entertainment Tonight reported. The actor said at the time that she had to get three stitches, writing that it was "NOT the way I wanted to end this movie."

Wilson said in her latest post on Wednesday that she incident was a "shock," but that she was doing alright.

"Luckily, I'm healing very well so I wanted to say thank you for everybody's well-wishes," she said. "I hopefully will be totally, totally fine."

Wilson is currently starring in the wedding action-comedy "Bride Hard" as Sam, a secret agent who has to be her childhood best friend's maid of honor.

While SAG-AFTRA members are currently striking, "Bride Hard" is produced by an independent studio and has signed an interim agreement with the union, per SAG-AFTRA's public records. The agreement allows independent productions separate from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (i.e. under non-struck companies) to continue during the strike, provided they agree to its terms.

Wilson said that while it was "really fun" to do an action movie, it was obviously also "a bit dangerous."

"But I'm all good, so thanks everybody," she said.
