Heigl: 'Daughter fine after surgery'

Katherine Heigl has said that her adopted daughter's congenital heart defect has been repaired.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar, the Killers actress revealed that her baby girl underwent the surgery before leaving her native Korea.

"Her heart is 100% fine now. She has a scar, so she won't be wearing bikinis, which is fine by us," Heigl said.

She added: "A lot of children don't find forever homes because they're on that special needs list, even if it's because of something as simple as her mother smoked cigarettes for a month, not knowing she was pregnant. That's not so huge that you couldn't handle it."

The 31-year-old and husband Josh Kelley announced their plans to adopt their daughter last September.
