Yazmin Oukhellou is "trying to find a way to piece her life back together" as she returns home following a horror car crash in Turkey that killed her on/off boyfriend Jake McLean.

Wearing dark sunglasses, the TOWIE star, 28, was photographed with her right arm in a cast and a sling while out with her mum Lisa - who stayed by her side after she underwent surgery for extensive injuries. Other snaps showed Yazmin being consoled by family members.

A source has told new, "Yazmin is back home in Essex and is trying to find a way to piece her life back together. She is still recovering from her injuries as well as trying to process everything. She's taking each day as it comes and has the support of her family, who are helping her through this awful time."

Yazmin was travelling as the passenger in the car with Jake, 33, in Bodrum, south-west Turkey, when the crash happened at around 4.30am on Sunday 3 July. It's been reported that the vehicle careered 70ft from the road on a cliff bend and landed in a ravine 30ft below.

An official told reporters that Jake is estimated to have been driving at "well over" the 40mph speed limit. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene, while Yazmin was taken to hospital. Doctors reportedly told her she was "very lucky" to have survived.
