Tamar Braxton 'almost died' at the weekend

Singer, actor and reality TV star Tamar Braxton says she “almost died” in a weekend accident that she doesn't remember.

“I was found in a pool of blood from my friend with a face injury,” Braxton wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday.

“I fractured my nose, lost some teeth and mobility." She added, “I don't even know what happened to me.”

Braxton, 48, earlier in the day, had posted on her Instagram story: “Thank you God for waking me up today”.

She said she was getting calls in response and was struggling to talk, so she shared what had happened to her.

“The way I look at life now is totally different. As my health is on the mend, my mental journey begins… pray for me for real,” she wrote.

An email to Braxton's manager seeking more details was not immediately answered.

Braxton was part of a singing group with her sisters, including Toni Braxton, who went on to a major solo career.

They and other family members appeared on the reality series “Braxton Family Values” starting in 2011, and Tamar Braxton has since appeared in spin-offs and other reality shows.

As an actor, her recent credits include the TV series “Kingdom Business.” And she has spent much of the year on a solo singing tour.
