Virginia Giuffre's father has made a sad plea as his daughter fights for her life.
Giuffre is said to have been involved in a car crash and has since faced a series of health issues as a result.
It's unclear where and when the incident happened, but Giuffre took to social media to tell her 15,000 Instagram followers that she's been given just days to live.
"This year has been the worst start to a new year," her post began, "but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can."

Giuffre's post continued: "I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes."
The 41-year-old famously sued Prince Andrew for sexual assault in 2021.
Ultimately the case was settled between the pair and never went to trial. Giuffre was paid an undisclosed sum of money from the Duke of York, who did not admit to any wrongdoing.

Giuffre was also one of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers, having claimed that he and Ghislaine Maxwell groomed her.
In the wake of her recent health battles, Giuffre's father has issued a sad plea.
Sky Roberts penned on Instagram: "Virginia, my daughter, I love you and praying you get the correct treatment to live a long and healthy life.
"If there is anything in the world I can do to help you, please let me know. My spirit is with you now and holding your hand."
The two main treatments for kidney failure include dialysis and a kidney transplant, however, in her post Giuffre said she had been transferred to a specialist hospital in urology.
Urologists focus on surgical issues and conditions affecting the urinary tract.
While Giuffre says she's been given just day to live, with the right healthcare, people with serious kidney failure can live much longer.
Cleveland Clinic says of surviving end-stage kidney failure: "With proper treatment, you can continue to live a happy, fulfilling life. But, you can expect to need treatment for the rest of your life."
It adds: "Remember, you can’t reverse kidney disease or kidney failure, you can only slow its progression."
