US media reported that Pelosi fractured her hip after she tripped and fell on a staircase while at an event, citing sources that were unauthorised to speak publicly on the matter.

Pelosi, 84, is "currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals", spokesperson Ian Krager said in a statement.

The Democrat, who represents California in the US House, was travelling with a bipartisan Congressional delegation to Luxembourg to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

Krager said Pelosi "looks forward to returning home to the US soon" and continues to work from the hospital.
