The post sparked an outpouring of support, with over 1,500 comments wishing her a swift recovery. This response highlights the affection she receives from the Cuban public, who appreciate her both for her comedic talents and dramatic performances.
In her message, Yerlín Pérez expressed heartfelt gratitude to those who supported her through the emergency, saying, "I don't know how to thank those who always stand by me, pamper me, and put up with my whims."
She mentioned several individuals by name: Jelliset Valdés received special recognition — "What would I do without your promise to be there when times get tough?" — and she referred to Tania Gómez as her "life sister."
She also thanked Delso Aquino Baños, Brianna Villanueva, Luis Manuel, Yare, Angela Reina Pérez Lorente, Raisa Rodríguez, Julio Triana, and Olga's Medicine.
A particularly striking line in her message was directed at Eduard Aquino, whom she called "the reason I get through all these emergencies," indicating that this might not be her first urgent hospitalization.
Yerlín Pérez is among the most beloved and versatile Cuban actresses of her generation. She is particularly known for her role as "Arturita" on the comedic TV show "Deja que yo te cuente," but her career also spans drama, telenovelas, and film, with appearances in productions like "La cara oculta de la luna," "De amores y esperanzas," and the movie "Yuli," where she played the mother of dancer Carlos Acosta.
Life in Exile and Artistic Achievements
She arrived in Miami in May 2022 after spending three months in Mexico and crossing the northern border into the United States, primarily motivated by the desire to reunite with her son.
Since her arrival, she has become integrated into the Cuban exile art scene, participating in the comedian Carlucho's show on Univista TV and starring in the successful stage play "Fresa y Chocolate" at the Trail Theater in Coral Gables, which held over 46 sold-out performances from its debut in December 2025 to March 2026.
Her life in exile is also tinged with sorrow; her immigration status prevents her from traveling to Cuba to see her father, who is critically ill in Havana. She shared this painful reality publicly in December 2025, resonating deeply within the Cuban exile community.
The overwhelming response from her fans following her hospitalization news confirms that Yerlín Pérez holds a special place in the hearts of the Cuban audience, who follow her career with enthusiasm, whether she's making them laugh or moving them with her dramatic performances.
