Selma Blair was "so honoured" after receiving a standing ovation at the 2022 Emmy Awards.
The 50-year-old actress - who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018 - made a surprise appearance during the ceremony yesterday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles amid her brave battle with the nervedisease.
After being met with warm applause and cheers as she walked up with her cane to the centre stage, she was visibly emotional and said: "I am so, so honoured."
The Cruel Intentions actress appeared to present the final award of the evening. She continued: "I am honoured to be here this evening to present the final award for Outstanding Drama Series."
Blair - who has son Arthur, 11, with her ex Jason Bleick - recently described her cane as a "dance partner" during her health battle, as she works to overcome "compromised" movement.

She explained: "Movement has been so important to me my whole life. I was a gymnast. I always wanted to be a dancer, but I never had any talent, never even took a lesson, and then to have my movement compromised.
"But then I found the cane and realised how much I could work around it and how much coordination I still had, despite certain glitches. That freed me up so much."
