"Dog the Bounty Hunter" star Duane Chapman asked fans to pray for wife Beth, who's fighting cancer, after a report she's in a medically induced coma.

"Dog the Bounty Hunter" star Beth Chapman remains in the hospital after her husband shared a report that she had been placed in a medically induced coma amid cancer treatment.

Her family members "have been with her at the hospital," where she remains in "very serious" condition, Chapman's lawyer, Andrew Brettler, told USA TODAY on Monday. Husband and "Bounty Hunter" co-star Duane Chapman asked fans Sunday to pray for his wife.

According to an article from Hawaii News Now that Duane shared on his official Twitter and Facebook pages, the family told the newscasters in a statement Saturday that she had been to the Intensive Care Unit at Queen's Medical Center in Hawaii and is now in a coma.

"Please say your prayers for Beth right now thank you love you," Duane wrote early Sunday morning, before sharing the article.
