Richardson’s husband, Liam Neeson, left a Toronto movie shoot for Atom Egoyan's "Chloe" to be at her side in Montreal, the CTV network reported.
Richardson suffered her injuries while skiing at Mont Tremblant in Quebec and is believed to be at the Hospital du Sacre-Coeur in Montreal.
"We know that she has had an accident but we really do not know any more details," said Kika Markham, who is married to Richardson's uncle, Corin Redgrave. "We are very concerned."
Mont Tremblant said Richardson fell on a beginners trail during a ski lesson and later reported not felling well.
The ski resort said the ski instructor and a ski patrol accompanied Richardson to her hotel, where they again recommended she should be seen by a doctor.
"Approximately an hour after the incident Mrs. Richardson was not feeling good," the statement said.
Mont Tremblant spokeswoman Catherine Lacasse said Richardson was getting a private lesson and that she said she was fine at first.
"An hour later she said she didn't feel well. She had a headache, so we sent her to the hospital," Lacasse said. "There were no signs of impact and no blood, nothing."
An ambulance was called and Richardson was brought to the Center Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe and was later transferred to Hopital du Sacre-Coeur in Montreal. An employee at Hopital du Sacre-Coeur in Montreal said they didn't have a Richardson at the hospital after intiailly saying they did early Tuesday.
Richardson, 45, is the daughter of British actress Vanessa Redgrave and director Tony Richardson.
