A spokewoman for Mrs. Reagan confirmed the news to the Associated Press.
Reagan spokeswoman Joanne Drake told the AP that the 87-year-old former first lady fell at her home last week. Joanne Drake was the late president Ronald Reagan's chief of staff, and now serves as chief of staff for the Ronald Reagan library in Simi Valley.
Mrs. Reagan then decided Monday to get checked out at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where doctors discovered she had a fractured pelvis.
Drake says Mrs. Reagan is in good spirits and surgery isn't required. She's in some pain and s reportedly "undergoing physical therapy."
Mrs. Reagan expected length of stay in the hospital is unknown.
Drake tells the AP Mrs. Reagan apparently fell in middle of the night at her Bel-Air home.
