Expressing gratitude on Instagram, Hough acknowledged Hayley's inspiring will and strength, emphasizing the overwhelming support they've received during this challenging time.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Mira Sorvino also extended their well wishes for Hayley's recovery. Derek's sister Julianne Hough publicly asked for their prayers during their family's difficult time, too.

Hough expressed hope that, as a family, they can pay forward the kindness and support they've received during this challenging period.
