The 37-year-old actress - who is the youngest child of the late John Phillips - was previously diagnosed with an incurable kidney disease but has been given a second chance after receiving a kidney from a donor.
Her husband Danny Masterson, 41, shared a picture of Bijou and her unidentified donor on Instagram and wrote: "My lady has been slowing dying for the past 7 years of an incurable kidney disease. She was given the gift of an encore by a tall angel.
In February, a representative for the "Almost Famous" actress confirmed the star has been privately having dialysis - a treatment which removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly - after being born with small kidneys.
Danny and Bijou - who tied the knot in 2011 - have a three-year-old daughter Fianna Francis together.
