A car filled with tourists crashed into Bialik’s car on Wednesday in Los Angeles on Hollywood Boulevard, TMZ reported.

Bialik, 36, who stars in the "Big Bang Theory" and was a child star in "Blossom," nearly lost her left thumb in the accident, according to TMZ, which reported that the digit was almost completely severed.

Hours after the accident, Bialik tweeted that she was "In pain but will keep all my fingers." She added, however, that her husband was typing for her.

In addition being an actress, Bialik is a neuroscientist and writes about Jewish parenting.
