Elizabeth Taylor who went in for heart surgery to repair a leaky valve is doing well following the procedure, and has taken to Twitter to tweet her thanks. Ms. Taylor says: 'Dear Friends, My heart procedure went off perfectly. It’s like having a brand new ticker. Thank you for your prayers and good wishes… I know they all helped. ''

Ms. Taylor had gone on Twitter before her surgery in order to let her fans know - before the press, that she was having the procedure done. She said: 'Dear Friends, I would like to let you know before it gets in the papers that I am going into the hospital to have a procedure on my heart. It's very new and involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device, without open heart surgery, so that my heart will function better. Any prayers you happen to have lying around I would dearly appreciate. I'll let you know when it's all over. Love you, Elizabeth.'

We are glad to hear Ms. Taylor is doing well, and wish her a speedy recovery.
