The reigning mirrorball champion is on the mend.

Daniella Karagach is recovering after she sustained an injury on stage at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, Calif., Wednesday night – the latest stop on the “Dancing With the Stars: Live!” tour.

The incident occurred towards the end of the show, when Karagach – who won Season 30 of “DWTS” with former NBA pro Iman Shumpert – was performing with Alan Bersten.

Page Six was in the audience and saw Karagach, 30, visibly in pain after a move gone wrong. Bersten, 27, carried her off stage after she made it clear she was unable to get up or continue dancing.

“Daniella unfortunately sustained an injury during last night’s show. She was tended to by our on-tour physio and then treated at a local hospital,” a rep for the show told Page Six in a statement.

“She is resting now and receiving excellent care. The entire cast and crew is wishing her a speedy recovery.”

Karagach also announced the unfortunate news via Instagram on Thursday, sharing a photo of herself in a wheelchair with her foot in a cast. Her husband, fellow “DWTS” pro Pasha Pashkov, lovingly stood by her side.

“Well, this was definitely not the way I thought tour would end but I’m grateful for the time I had. This was truly a special experience for me and I’ve had the best time being a part of this immensely talented cast,” she captioned the post.

“I love my @dancingabc fam so much and I know you guys will keep kicking ass!! ?? To the fans and friends, I love you. Thank you for your love, kindness and always showing 100% of your support for us.”

Karagach concluded her post by saying the tour “would be nothing” without all of the fans who came out to support her and her fellow pros on the road.

“The moments I had on that stage was something I’ll never be able to express. Dancing for you guys was exhilarating. Im so grateful,” she gushed. “To @alexis_warr , thank you for saving my butt!! I can’t wait to watch you shine!!! Go crush em?? Much love, D.”

The “Dancing With the Stars: Live!” tour continues Thursday at the Segerstrom Center For The Arts in Costa Mesa, Calif., and wraps March 27 at the Gallo Center For The Arts in Modesto, Calif.

Wednesday night’s stop in Riverdale marked Season 29 champion Kaitlyn Bristowe’s last show as a guest celebrity. The program ended with the cast picking the former “Bachelorette” star up in the air, with her gushing, “This is like [one of] the top two moments of my life.”
