Lauren Scruggs, 23, accidentally walked into a spinning plane propeller four months ago, according to People, leaving the fashion blogger and model with serious injuries. On Friday, father Jeff Scruggs said that despite losing her left eye and hand, Lauren is still the same woman she was before the accident

“She has the same spunk, her same personality,” Jeff told Katie Couric on Good Morning America, addressing concerns of brain damage. He added that Lauren thankfully does not appear to remember the actual accident. “All she remembers is getting out of that plane,” Jeff said.

In an uncanny twist, Jeff described the “special bond” between Lauren and twin sister Brittany. When Lauren’s left eye was surgically removed, he said, “Brittany’s left eye started to twitch for two weeks.” Lauren has since been fitted with a prosthetic eye, and in a month she will be fitted with a prosthetic arm.
