The "Little Miss Sunshine" star went on to share another tweet, in which she stressed that the virus "is never more real until you've experienced it firsthand or through a loved one."
"It's unpredictable and relentless," she said, adding that her dad has been "incredible [sic] careful" and had only left the house for doctor appointments.
"Plz be safe. PLEASE," Breslin tweeted.
Both fans and celebrities alike sent supportive messages to the "Zombieland" actress. Some users even shared hopeful messages, noting that they -- or their family members -- were put on ventilators for Covid-19 and ultimately recovered.
"Praying for you, your dad and your family❤️. I know how tough this is on the family as well," a fan commented. "I was place[d] on a ventilator in April and luckily made it through! ... I hope and pray your father will make it through this."
Breslin replied to the fan, writing, "Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️. This helps. I'm so glad you're okay again❤️ Can't wait to show my dad everyone's wishes."
All I can say is this: Covid is never more real until you’ve experienced it firsthand or through a loved one. It’s unpredictable and relentless. My dad has been incredible careful and hasn’t left home since it began except for doctors appointments. Plz be safe. PLEASE.
