Megan then noted she wanted to serve as a caregiver for her sister, who will require further treatment following her release from the medical facility.

She added: ‘I need to be there to help her with literally everything as she will be able to do incredibly little by herself.

‘She will be in rehab for a very long time and will need 24/hr care even after she leaves the hospital.’

Megan, who is based in Britain, went on to blast the US government’s policy towards foreign nationals after being told she could not see her sister.

She wrote, ‘I applied to the US Embassy for exemption from the current restrictions banning any non-US citizens into the US and was denied earlier today and I am devastated.

Troubles: Megan also noted that, as a resident of the United Kingdom, she was not allowed to enter the United States due to current travel restrictions; Kathryn is pictured in 2017

‘I have documents from the hospital confirming the extent of Kathryn’s injuries and am willing to do anything to get to her as soon as humanly possible.’

She continued: ‘I don’t know what to do with myself. I have to be able to get to my sister to care for her and right now I have no way of doing so.’

She added: ‘I know there is so much going on in the world right now but I am heartbroken that I can’t be with my twin sister in this horrible time in her life when she desperately needs me – I don’t want her to go through this alone.’

Megan asked her followers to let Kathryn recover undisturbed and to direct all of their concerns to either her or to the actress’ representatives.

She said: ‘Please don’t message or try to contact Kat right now, if you need her desperately please contact me, her managers or her agent. She needs to rest at the moment.’  

She also shared a message to her Instagram Story where she pointed out she was ‘not interested in spending two weeks in another country to see my sister… I need to go NOW.’
