Joey King suffers facial burns in cooking accident, shares blistered photos
Kissing Booth
actress revealed the incident on Instagram, sharing close-up photos of the burns.
'I burned myself a few days ago by throwing shallots into a pan of hot oil,' King wrote in her post. Her mother responded with humor, saying, 'See, that's why I hate cooking.'
Despite the painful injuries, King remains positive. This isn't her first skin struggle—she has also been open about her battle with perioral dermatitis, a condition that causes small red bumps around the mouth, nose, and eyes.
Last year, King shared her ongoing skincare challenges, revealing that she had stopped using prescription treatments but was unsure how to manage flare-ups.
King's latest mishap has prompted her to prioritize kitchen safety, emphasizing the importance of proper handling of hot oil. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, first-degree burns can cause pain and scarring if not treated correctly. She appears to be following recommended treatments, including cool water, petroleum jelly, and sun protection.
Although King recently experimented with bold beauty changes—including dyeing her eyebrows for a magazine party, which her mother disapproved of—her focus now is on healing from her burns. Fans have flooded her comments with well wishes, hoping for a speedy recovery.

Anne Burrell's cause of death revealed
More than five weeks after Anne Burrell was found dead in her Brooklyn home, the New York City medical examiner has revealed her official cause of death. The beloved Food Network chef and TV personality died by suicide, according to a newly released toxicology report. Her death had been under investigation since June 17, when she was found unresponsive at around 7:50 a.m. and pronounced dead at the scene. The report cites 'acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine.' Diphenhydramine and cetirizine are antihistamines, ethanol is found in alcohol, and amphetamines are typically prescribed for ADHD. The combination proved fatal. The 55-year-old chef had appeared cheerful and energetic in a final Instagram post just five days before her passing, leading fans to believe everything was normal. But her absence from the latest season of Worst Cooks in America, which she had hosted from 2010 to 2024, had already raised questions among her long-time followers. Neither the network nor Burrell ever addressed the change. Burrell's family released a heartfelt statement following her death, calling her a 'beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend.' They remembered her for a light that 'radiated far beyond those she knew' and added that her 'warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.' The Food Network also expressed its grief, saying Burrell was 'a remarkable person and culinary talent,' who shared the importance of food with joy and passion. Her death has reignited discussions around mental health in high-pressure industries, especially within the food world where personal struggles are often masked behind smiles.

What happened to Ben Askren? Former UFC fighter shares his near-death experience from ventilator, find out full story
Ben Askren opens up about near-death pneumonia battle while on ventilator Former UFC fighter Ben Askren shared the harrowing experience of being placed on a ventilator after developing pneumonia from a bacterial infection, before receiving a double lung transplant. The 40-year-old, who retired from MMA in 2019, was hospitalised in Wisconsin in late May and has lost 50lb (22.7kg) over the span of 45 days. In an Instagram video posted from his hospital bed, Askren revealed that he has no memory of the period between May 28 and July 2 due to the severity of his illness. He recounted reading through his wife's journal, which described his near-death experience. 'I died four times, the ticker stopped for about 20 seconds,' he said. Askren competed in the UFC's welterweight division. He revealed he currently weighed 147lb, joking that he hadn't been that light since his teenage years. Despite the grim circumstances, Askren expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support from fans and the wrestling community, saying it felt as though he had 'his own funeral' while still alive. His wife, Amy, noted on social media that her husband had been in perfect health just five weeks prior to his sudden illness. The couple has three children. Jake Paul, who defeated Askren in a 2021 boxing match, also made a public plea for donations to assist with Askren's recovery. Askren is widely regarded as one of the best American wrestlers of his generation, competing at the 2008 Summer Olympics, and was a welterweight champion in both Bellator and One Championship.

David Beckham hospitalized for wrist surgery, family shares support
On June 27, Victoria Beckham shared a photo of her husband, Sir David Beckham, resting in a hospital bed with his arm in a blue sling. The caption read, 'Get well soon daddy,' accompanied by a bracelet carrying the same message, offering a glimpse into the family's support as he recovers from wrist surgery. The photo, shared by Victoria Beckham, prompted a range of responses from fans and public figures on social media Photo- Victoria Beckham/Instagram The former England football captain and co-owner of Inter Miami CF underwent the procedure to address complications from a long-standing injury dating back to 2003. During that match against South Africa Beckham sustained a wrist injury that required the insertion of a surgical screw, which more recently had begun causing discomfort. Beckham continues to receive recognition for his contributions to football and philanthropy. Though he was awarded an OBE in 2003, speculation about a future knighthood remains unconfirmed as of June 2025. In addition to his sports legacy, Beckham remains active through his charitable affiliations, including work with UNICEF, and in football leadership as a co-owner of Inter Miami CF. Despite this brief medical setback, his involvement in public life continues uninterrupted. Though Beckham has yet to comment directly on the procedure, the nature of his posts and those from his family suggest a stable recovery process is underway.
