Mark Wahlberg is sharing an update on his daughter’s condition after his youngest child, Grace, 15, was hospitalized following an equestrian competition.
“She’s good,” he said on the Nov. 14 episode of TODAY. “She’s just angry that she’s not allowed to get back on the horse yet. She does have to take that time to recover.”
Wahlberg explained that Grace “broke her collarbone” and was “rushed off to the hospital in an ambulance.”

Wahlberg said watching equestrian competitions can be stressful.
“It’s the most dangerous, nerve-wracking sport that I’ve ever watched and witnessed, but she loves it,” he said. “She’s so dedicated and she has the discipline at 15 that took me into my 40s to getting. You think I get up early and do things to prepare? She’s a machine!”
“She was worried we would be too concerned because of the dangers that we wouldn’t let her ride again, but she’s passionate about it so we have to let her pursue that,” he added.
The “Ted” actor shares Grace and his three older kids, Ella, 22, Brendan, 17, and Michael, 19, with his wife, Rhea Durham.
In a Nov. 2 Instagram post, Grace revealed she got hurt while horseback riding when she shared a photo of herself in the hospital. In the snap, she’s seen laying in a hospital bed while her arm is in a sling.
“No pressure we will be back,” she penned the caption.
