The Rams quarterback drew some ire for appearing to walk away from the situation.

Los Angeles and the Staffords released a statement, lending their support to Smiley.

"We have been in communication with Kelly Smiley since yesterday’s incident and we are sorry for what happened," the joint statement read. "As we told Kelly, we will be covering all her hospital bills and replacing her cameras. We wish her a speedy recovery."

A GoFundMe for Smiley raised more than $43,000 to help with the recovery. Radio host Pat McAfee donated $5,000 to the fund.

Smiley, an award-winning photographer, who is a photo editor with the NFL and for the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings, gave an update on her health on social media.

"That’s me. Waiting at the ER for X-ray results. Both my cameras broke but I’m ok," she initially wrote.
