Beverly Hills “plastic surgeon to the stars” Dr. Frank Ryan died in a car accident Monday afternoon after his Jeep went over the side of Pacific Coast Highway and landed on the rocks. Lifeguards tried to help at the scene, but Ryan was trapped in the vehicle with severe head injuries. Excavation efforts failed, and the Hollywood doctor was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
Per TMZ:
Minutes before the crash, Ryan Tweeted, “After 25 years of driving by, I finally hiked to the top of the giant sand dune on the pch west of Malibu. Much harder than it looks! Whew!”
Ryan’s last Tweet, “Border collie jill surveying the view from atop the sand dune.” Ryan posted the picture below with his Tweet. Law enforcement tells us the dog was injured but survived.
The dog was also in the car at the time of the accident. She was injured but survived. Dr. Ryan frequently performed surgeries on television, and counted Gene Simmons, Shauna Sand, Adrianne Curry,and Vince Neil among his famous clients. Most notably however, Ryan is responsible for Heidi Montag’s transformation into a real-life Barbie doll, performing 10 surgeries on the 23 year old reality star in one day, calling the procedures a “well thought out career move.”
Deepest sympathies to all his loved ones.
