Kristin Chenoweth recovering at home after ‘Good Wife’ accident

Kristin Chenoweth, hospitalized Wednesday after an accident on the New York set of “The Good Wife,� has been released and is recovering at home, according to a rep for the actress.

“She thanks everyone for their prayers and well wishes,� publicist Jill Fritzo said Thursday.

Chenoweth was injured Wednesday when a gust of wind knocked over lighting equipment, which hit her and knocked her down. She’d been filming an episode of “The Good Wife,� which stars Julianna Margulies and will feature Broadway babe Chenoweth in a recurring role this season.

“That area is a vortex for wind ... and a big gust of wind blew the lighting off the scaffolding,� a witness told TMZ. The actress was hit “square in the head,� the witness said. A 911 call was placed shortly after 5 p.m. EDT.

While New York Fire Department representative said a woman injured at the address in question had suffered “minor injuries,� scary photos posted by TMZ showed Chenoweth strapped to a backboard and wearing a neck brace as she was being loaded into an ambulance.

Chenoweth’s usually peppy Twitter account was silent Thursday, with this plaintive plea her most recent tweet, sent the previous afternoon: “Where is a 7/11 when i need one?�

The actress wasn’t calling 7/11 instead of 911, however: On Wednesday, July 11, 7-Eleven stores were giving away free Slurpees. And who doesn’t love a Slurpee?

Best wishes, Kristin!
