GRAPHIC WARNING: Tish Cyrus's new husband Dominic Purcell reveals his gruesome injuries after horrific accident on set

Dominic Purcell shocked his followers on Sunday by sharing a graphic throwback photo of the facial injuries he sustained while filming one of his projects.

The image showed the 54-year-old actor's face soaked with blood after an iron bar struck him during a shoot, fracturing his skull and crushing his nose.

Purcell, who is married to Miley Cyrus's mother Tish, insisted the injuries were real and not a makeup job.

He explained the injury occurred in Morocco while he was filming a scene that turned life-threatening in an instant.

Dominic Purcell gave his followers a jolt with a graphic throwback photo posted on Instagram, displaying severe injuries he sustained while filming

'One minute I'm running the next a tremendous force exploded upon me. My stunty @johnnymacstunts came running to my side and said 'doesn't look good. Your nose is smashed and I can see your skull. I replied "that's not good".

'Point is - I thought for sure I was going to have a brain bleed, pass out and die. I found it amusing that my end would be in the desert, with not a hospital insight doing what I love most.

'On reflection it's how I accepted death that's always puzzled me. I guess it's just that. I accepted it.'

Tish tied the knot with Prison Break actor Dominic in August 2023 following her divorce from her husband of 28 years, Billy Ray. 

The news comes come after recent reports that the Cyrus family are feuding behind the scenes.

While some family members such as daughter Miley were present for the wedding, Tish's kids Noah and Braison were absent from the nuptials - fueling speculation of a rift at the time.

According to a DailyMail.com insider, Noah's absence at the wedding was not by choice, but the result of Tish failing to invite her.

Us Weekly then published a report claiming Tish had 'stolen' Dominic from Noah, 24, who was said to be 'seeing' the actor when her mother began to pursue him.

'Noah has always craved the attention because she did not get it growing up. Tish was always so Miley-sided because that is where the money was,' the source claimed.

'Miley and Tish are like sisters and Noah has always been envious of this because she's never had a connection with Tish like Miley has.'

According to a DailyMail.com insider, Noah's absence at the wedding was not by choice, but rather the result of Tish not inviting her

However, it has since been claimed that Miley Cyrus' sister 'never dated' Dominic and she has been accused by family insiders of 'fabricating' the relationship to 'paint herself as the victim' in her ongoing feud with Tish.

It has since been claimed that Tish would like to re-establish a relationship with Noah. 

'Tish definitely still wants to have a relationship with Noah,' a source told US Weekly.  'She hopes they can move past this.'
