It’s been just over a week since former NBA star Lamar Odom was hospitalised in a coma, and now that the 35-year-old is showing signs of improvement, his estranged wife Khloe Kardashian has spoken out for the first time about the ordeal.

In a statement posted to her website, Khloe thanked everyone for their prayers during what she described as an “incredibly difficult” week.

“I am so thankful to family, friends and fans, who have sent nothing but prayers and well wishes to Lamar,” she wrote.

“I also want to take a moment to thank everyone at Sunrise Hospital, including the amazing doctors and nurses for their kindness and diligent work. Under their amazing care, incredible strides have been made.

“You can never be prepared for an experience like this, but without the outpouring of love and endless prayers that Lamar has received and the strength I was given from my loved ones, it would have been difficult to endure,” she continued.

“Thank you for your continued support. God is great!!!”

Lamar was hospitalised on Tuesday last week after being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel. He regained consciousness on Friday after a four-day coma, and has reportedly been making small steps towards improvement, although sources say there is still a long way to go for the former Lakers star.

Lamar has since been transferred to a hospital in Los Angeles for further treatment.
