Jeffree Star said he's in 'excruciating pain' amid discharge from the hospital for car accident in Wyoming
Jeffree Star has been discharged from Wyoming Medical Center after he and a friend were injured in a rollover crash on Friday.
Star said on Twiter he and his friend Daniel Lucas were in a "severe car accident" outside of Casper, Wyoming, after hitting black ice. Star, who recently purchased a ranch in Wyoming, said the Rolls Royce he was driving during the accident flipped three times.

Insider's Kat Tenbarge previously reported Star and Lucas were transported to the hospital, where a representative confirmed Star was in "stable condition."
On Saturday, the controversial influencer updated his more than 19 million Instagram and Twitter followers on his condition. Star revealed on his Instagram Stories that he would have to wear a brace for a few months after breaking his back in the accident.
"My back is really broke, and my vertebrae — three are not attached right now and I am in the most excruciating pain ever," said Star, who was seated next to a bedridden Lucas.
We woke up crying happy tears today. So thankful for everyone’s out pouring love ???? To everyone who wished death upon Daniel and I, we pray you find happiness within yourself.

Lucas, who's spoken out about his journey with stage 3 colon cancer, was not discharged and remained hospitalized.
"I have some internal issues due to the colon cancer that I had," said Lucas. "There's some internal bleeding, some holes going on that shouldn't be going on...so it's a bummer."
After being discharged from the hospital, Star shared photos of the damaged Rolls Royce.
