"His first finger is bruised and a little bloody, but his middle finger took the brunt of it and was severed from the first knuckle near the tip," she continued. "It was the most traumatic thing we've had go through as a family."

The actress — who also shares son Ocean, four, and daughter Rio, five months, with husband Carlos PenaVega — added that she felt "mom guilt" following Kingston's injury.

"The mom guilt and shame was really hard to get through," Alexa wrote. "But thank God for the sweet little bruiser Kingston is."

In June, the former child star told fans that she and Carlos of the boy band Big Time Rush do not "have any help" raising their family.

"There are days that I definitely wish I did," she wrote on Instagram at the time.

"We'll cook, we'll clean, we'll watch kids, we'll work, we'll do all that stuff all day long, but we totally feel guilty when we do stuff for ourselves which is silly because we know that's silly. But we're working on it."
