Following a major injury, Christie Brinkley will no longer be part of Dancing With the Stars [1] season 28. Just days before the season premiere on Sept. 16, the 65-year-old supermodel suffered a serious fall after tripping over her partner's foot during rehearsals [2]. The injury will require surgery on her arm and wrist and force Brinkley to sit out the competition. Instead, the supermodel's 21-year-old daughter Sailor Brinkley-Cook will be taking her place this season.

On Monday, Brinkley took to Instagram to detail her unfortunate accident [3] as well as send well-wishes to her daughter. "Sailor Breezes [in] to [sic] Save the Day!" she captioned a photo of her daughter wearing her DWTS costume. "I just broke my arm into a 1000 pieces [sic] requiring surgery with a metal plate and screws to hold my arm together . . . Im [sic] so sorry! Only something like that cold [sic] stop me from continuing to dance with my wonderful coach . . . I was having a blast! It was quite literally a crushing disappointment, I never ever want to let anyone down, so I looked for a silver lining and I think this one is solid gold!"

After apologizing for typos due to her broken arm (aww!), Brinkley went on to cheer on her daughter. "Sailor Thank you for taking a very disappointing turn of events into something very special!" she continued. "You know Showbiz is all about getting a break and I guess you can say Sailor and I both got one on this season of @dancingabc"

While it's certainly a bittersweet moment for Brinkley, we can't wait to see her daughter step into her dance shoes this season.
