Melissa McCarthy is taking to the streets to rally support after good friend Mariska Hargitay broke her ankle.
The “Bridesmaids” actress posted a video showing her holding a sign outside a Los Angeles restaurant that read: "Honk if you're PRAYING for Mariska Harigtay's recovery.”

With her face obscured under a mask, McCarthy, 50, waves the sign as cars drive by and honk their horn to show solidarity for the “Law & Order: SVU” star.
"If you can't produce quality care for your friend after ankle surgery, the next best this is obviously standing outside Wienerschnitzel with a sign @therealmariskahargitay ❤️💥" McCarthy captioned the video.
Hargitay was enamoured by McCarthy’s gesture and reshared it on Instagram.
"Above and beyond," the 57-year-old wrote. "Honk if you're blown away by @melissamccarthy's heart and humor. Might be worth breaking my ankle for."
Earlier this month, Hargitay opened up about her injury by sharing an image of a cast and bandage around her right ankle.
According to Page Six, Hargitay fell during a screening of the new Marvel movie “Black Widow” in the Hamptons before being taken to nearby Southampton Hospital in an ambulance for a visit to the emergency room.
The latest calamity comes less than two months after she broke her knee and suffered a fractured ankle.
In May, the “SVU” icon shared an image wearing a boot on her left foot and a brace on her right knee.
"#ThatFeelingWhen, you go to the doctor, get an MRI and find out that you have a broken knee, a hairline fracture in your ankle, and a torn ligament," the 57-year-old captioned the pic of herself as she walked out of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. “It’s always a good idea to go to the doctor. Immediately.”
Hopefully, she’ll mend quickly and can resume her duties as Olivia Benson once production on “Law & Order” ramps up this fall.
