MIKA‘s sister is fighting for her life in hospital after falling from a window and impaling herself on railings.

Paloma Penniman – the pop star’s 28-year-old sibling — was believed to be sitting on a window-ledge three floors up in her home in Kensington, west London, when she lost her balance and fell on a spiked barrier below in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Both her legs were impaled on the railings, and another spike pierced her abdomen.

Mika – who had been out for dinner with his sister earlier in the evening and was at the apartment at the time of the incident — frantically called emergency services, who arrived at approximately 5am.

“To say he’s traumatized by this doesn’t even come close,” a source told  British newspaper The Sun.

“It’s the stuff of nightmares. Paloma had surgery today on her abdomen and legs — but she is critically ill. Mika is out of his mind with worry.

“No one really knows what happened. One minute Paloma was sitting on the window-ledge, the next she had fallen on to the railings.”

It is thought that firefighters had to cut a section of the railings and take them to hospital with the stylist.

“Police were called to an address at 5.15 this morning, after reports a woman was impaled on railings after falling from a window,” a police spokesman said.

A spokesman for the 27-year-old singer added, “She is in a critical but stable state. The family have asked for privacy at this time.”
