Cancer-stricken US actress Farrah Fawcett was released from hospital on Thursday after being treated for internal bleeding, People magazine reported on its website.

Fawcett (62) was hospitalised last week in what reports said was a fresh setback in her three-year fight with cancer.

However People quoted her physician Lawrence Piro as saying her hospital stay was due to internal bleeding not directly related to her cancer.

"She's walking and in great in spirits and looking forward to celebrating Easter at home," Piro told People. "Her home has been stocked with her favorite teas and food and she's looking forward to enjoying them."

Fawcett had been treated for a hematoma from bleeding in a stomach muscle following a surgical procedure the actress underwent in Germany.

Fawcett, best known for her recurring role in hit 1970s television show 'Charlie's Angels', had undergone aggressive chemotherapy in the past and had seen her anal cancer go into remission before returning in May 2007.
