Jeffree Star and his friend Daniel Lucas were hospitalised after being involved in a “severe” car accident in Wyoming.

The YouTube star and makeup mogul and his friend were driving in Natrona County when the Rolls Royce they were in hit black ice and flipped over three times.

The influencer’s twitter account posted a picture of him in a hospital gown, laying in a bed with a neck brace on.

“A few hours ago Jeffree and Daniel were in a severe car accident and the car flipped 3 times after hitting black ice,” the tweet stated.

“We will update you all when the doctor gives us more info. So thankful they are both alive.”

The Wyoming Highway Patrol said Mr Star’s vehicle was heading northbound on Hat Six Road when it crashed and the men are now being treated at Wyoming Medical Center.

“There was slush on the roadway up in that area,” said WHP Sergeant Jeremy Beck.

Police confirmed that Mr Star was driving the car and that both he and Mr Lucas had been wearing seatbelts.

An investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Mr Star, whose real name is Jeffrey Lynn Steininger, is originally from Orange County, California, but last year bought a 70-acre ranch near Casper, Wyoming.

The 35-year-old has run Jeffree Star Cosmetics since 2014, and has 16.5 million subscribers on YouTube, 13.6 million on Instagram and 6.9 million on Twitter.
