In response, McKellar tweeted a smiley face. The former child star tweeted to her followers after this, expressing her gratitude for their concern.
"Thank you all for your incredible outpouring of love, prayers and support for a speedy recovery of my broken rib...!" she tweeted.
McKellar has been one of the most consistent performers still left in the competition and has proven herself to be a potential dark horse contender. During Week 5's Disney Week, McKellar and Chmerkovskiy performed a Quickstep to Be Our Guest from Beauty and the Beast and received rave reviews from the judges.
Ultimately, the judges wound up giving the couple a 39 out of 40, allowing them to come close to a perfect score. So far, the couple has not received an individual score below an "8" from any of the judges.
On Monday, the couple is scheduled to dance Salsa to the song Watch Out For This (Bumaye) by Major Lazer, according to PureDWTS.
Dancing With the Stars season 18 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
