Derek Hough's wife Hayley Erbert was reportedly hospitalized and had to undergo emergency surgery after suffering a cranial hematoma on Wednesday night.

The scary incident–which is described as when blood collects in the skull–occurred while Erbert was performing as part of the couple's Symphony of Dance tour in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 6.

Hough opened up about Erbert's health scare in a detailed message posted to his Instagram grid on Thursday, Dec. 7.

“At the end of last night’s tout performance in Washington, D.C., my wife Hayley became disoriented and was taken to the hospital,” the Dancing With the Stars judge wrote. “She was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniectomy. She is in stable condition.”

The 38-year-old pro dancer went on to thank all of those who helped treat 28-year-old Erbert: "I want to thank the first responders and medical personnel who have cared for and continue to care for her. I ask for your prayers and positivity during this time."

The comments soon filled up with love from fellow DWTS entertainers and fans who shared sympathy and well wishes with the star.

Dancer Pasha Pashkov posted a series of prayer emojis, "🙏🙏🙏."

"Omg Derek. Please send her our love!!" exclaimed Peta Murgatroyd.

"Goodness gracious - sending healing, prayers and love," added ABC personality Ginger Zee.

"Focusing all my positivity and well wishes directly toward Hayley," wrote actress Xochitl Gomez. "She is a shining light 🤍."

Reality TV star and drag queen Shangela wrote, "Sending love and definitely prayers for u both!"

The couple has been romantically tied since 2015 and married this past summer, about a month before their Symphony of Dance tour kicked off.

As of writing, it's unclear whether upcoming tour dates will be postponed to allow Erbert time to recover.
