Liz, 45, is currently recovering from the attack which took place last Thursday, after suffering from a slash wound.
Emilia took to the social media site yesterday and tweeted: "As always, in awe of you @thelizcarr. Let's get back to the Lyell asap. Sending you HUGE amounts of love #SaveTHENHS."

In the statement, she also thanked everyone for their support including the paramedics, ambulance crew and A&E staff who cared for her after she was rushed to hospital.
Other celebrities and colleagues have also taken to Twitter in support of the actress.
Scottish comedian and Strictly Come Dancing contender Susan Calman wrote: "Just heard about what happened. Hope you're ok, sending all the love in the world."

Liz, who suffers from the rare genetic condition arthrogryposis multiplex congenital and uses a wheelchair because of the condition, was out with her carer at the time, who managed to push the attacker away from the actress.
In light of the attack last week, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "The two women were taken to hospital suffering minor cuts and subsequently discharged."
A man in his twenties was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and has since been detained under the Mental Health Act.
