Kristin Chenoweth, pictured in April in New York, was injured Wednesday but was seeking treatment at Bellevue Hospital on Thursday.
Actress Kristin Chenoweth got sprung from the hospital Thursday — a day after she was clocked by falling lighting equipment on a Brooklyn soundstage.
“Kristin has been released from the hospital and is home recovering,” her flak, Jill Fritzo, said in a statement. “She thanks everyone for their prayers and well wishes.”
Shortly before being discharged from Bellevue Hospital, Chenoweth was seen in the Intensive Care Unit sporting a neck brace and moving gingerly.
The award-winning actress was seen smiling as she climbed out of bed on her own and — dressed in a blue hospital gown — made it to a chair with the help of a male visitor.
The feisty 43-year-old actress appeared upbeat as they chatted.
Just a day earlier, the blond spitfire was “knocked out cold” on the set of the CBS drama “The Good Wife.”
“A gust of wind blew a lighting silk out of place striking actress Kristin Chenoweth,” the studio said in a statement.

Lighting silk is fabric used to soften or deflect artificial light or sunlight during shooting.
Paramedics who responded to the Williamsburg studio around 5 p.m. took Chenoweth out strapped to a gurney.
A short time later, “The Good Wife” star Josh Charles was seen racing over to Bellevue to visit his co-star.
Chenoweth, who won a Tony Award for her role in Broadway’s “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” and an Emmy Award for her work on “Pushing Daisies,” has been banged-up before on the job.
In 2006, Chenoweth suffered bumps and bruises when she spilled off the stage during a rehearsal of the Broadway revival “The Apple Tree.”
Last year, Chenoweth also injured her back on the set of “Glee” when she fell down a flight of concrete stairs.
