"The Office" co star Jenna Fischer is in New York recuperating after fracturing her back falling down a flight of stairs, her publicist confirmed to the media on Wednesday.

Fischer was in Manhattan attending the upfront presentation for NBC on Monday, when she tripped while attempting to negotiate a marble staircase in high heels.

Fischer was hospitalized with four broken bones in her lower back.

Her publicist has released information stating that Fischer "will make a full recovery" in four to six weeks and shouldn't miss any production time. The Emmy-winning show is currently on its summer hiatus.

"The 33-year-old actress is out of the hospital and is recovering in her hotel room until she is strong enough to fly back home to the West Coast," reports E! News.

NBC announced "The Office's" 2007-08 pickup—NBC will air 30 episodes next season, including five supersize segments—and she was scheduled to appear Late Night with Conan O'Brien before the fall.

The season finale of "The Office" airs Thursday at 8 p.m.
