Dame Elizabeth Taylor is tweeting about returning home from the hospital, and about losing her friend Michael Jackson.

"I'm home from the hospital sore, but intact. Of course I'm still grieving for Michael ... I always will," Taylor wrote on her Twitter account Friday evening. "But as I said before I went into the hospital, 'I am a survivor.'"

"I've had many tragedies in my life, but I guess they have all taught me something. I have to look at it that way," she continued. "I give love and I'm surrounded by love ... and I thank God for that."

Taylor's rep told ET she entered the hospital for "standard tests and a minor 'though painful' surgical procedure."
