Actress Natasha Richardson suffered traumatic head injuries in a ski accident at a resort in Montreal on Monday .
"We know that she has had an accident but we really do not know any more details," Kika Markham, the wife of Richardson's uncle, Corin Redgrave, told the Associated Press. "We are very concerned."
Richardson was hospitalized about 75 miles from Montreal, the New York Post reported.
Early reports regarding the severity of her condition conflicted: the AP said she is in critical condition, while a staffer at Sacré Coeur hospital told The Montreal Gazette Richardson was in the hospital's intensive care unit Monday night, but had left the hospital by 11 p.m.
The Tony award-winning actress, 45, is the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson. She married actor Liam Neeson, who she met filming Nell, in 1994; the couple has two young sons.
"Liam Neeson left the Toronto set immediately to fly to Montreal upon news of his wife's accident," a rep told Canadian TV. "We do not have any details at this time but we hope for the best and our thoughts and prayers are with Natasha and Liam and their family."
Richardson's notable film credits include include The Parent Trap, The Handmaid's Tale and last year's Wild Child. (Photo: WENN)
