Taylor returns home from hospital

Elizabeth Taylor said today she was home from hospital and “feeling great”.

The 77-year-old actress, who lives in Los Angeles, sent a tweet to her fans on the Twitter micro-blogging site, announcing she was home after a hospital stay. She thanked them “for all the love and support”.

Publicist Dick Guttman said Dame Elizabeth was admitted last Friday to an undisclosed hospital “for a routine visit”.

Taylor, an avid Twitter user, had sent a tweet last Friday asking a friend to get her puppy past hospital security.
