Ashley Park seen on ‘Emily in Paris’ set for first time since going into ‘critical septic shock’

Ashley Park returned to work for Season 4 of “Emily in Paris” Friday less than two months after going into “critical septic shock” while on vacation over the New Year’s holiday.

The California-born actress, 32, was seen for the first time since her illness reprising her role of Mindy Chen for the hit Netflix series, which films in picturesque Paris.

She was photographed alongside co-star Lily Collins, who plays lead Emily Cooper, wearing stylish outfits as they filmed a scene.

Park was dressed in a cobalt blue dress that was accessorized with a large, black belt with green and turquoise gems, a blue, white and purple purse, and metallic blue, knee-high boots.

Collins, 34, meanwhile wore a bright yellow jacket, a matching purse, knee-high black and yellow socks, and platform shoes.

The actresses were seen at one point, however, giving their feet a rest, as they opted for comfortable Ugg boots instead in-between takes.

Park appeared in good spirits as she recited her lines in front of Collins and the rest of the film crew.

Doctors gave the “Beef” alum the green light to fly overseas to film the show just a few weeks ago.

“Just wanted to update that I was medically cleared to fly after responding to treatments, and am now recovering and resting in Paris where I was greeted with this incredible warm welcome from loved ones and my ’Emily In Paris’ fam,” Park shared via Instagram on Jan. 28.

She also thanked her supporters at the time, writing that she was “deeply moved” by all of the “beautiful messages,” which “boosted [her] into a quick and hopeful recovery.”

Park was on a trip to the Maldives with her co-star and boyfriend, Paul Forman, in December 2023 when “tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock,” affecting several of her organs, she previously revealed.

The “Only Murders in the Building” actress shared via Instagram in January that she had to be hospitalized — and even spent some time in the intensive care unit. However, she also noted at the time that her health had “improved despite what [they] had initially been told.”

Park revealed shortly after that she had been transferred from the Maldives to Dubai for “extensive care.” 

Collins previously told her co-star and pal amid her illness, “I love you sister and I’m forever grateful you’re on the other side of this and for @peforman for your incredibly huge heart and for being there every step of the way.”

She added via a comment on Instagram at the time, “I cannot wait to hug you both ❤️.”
