The Maleficent star – who is mom to Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and Vivienne and Knox – didn’t specify who was the second child to have had surgery.
Angelina shared the news in an essay for Time
“I have spent the last two months in and out of surgeries with my eldest daughter, and days ago watched her younger sister go under the knife for a hip surgery,” the Oscar winner wrote.
“They know that I am writing this, because I respect their privacy and we discussed it together and they encouraged me to write. They understand that going through medical challenges and fighting to survive and heal is something to be proud of.”

The actress, who’s starring in the upcoming film Those Who Wish Me Dead, said her daughters rallied together to “care for one another” and “faced their fears with resolute bravery”.
“My youngest daughter studied the nurses with her sister, and then assisted the next time,” Angelina said.
“I saw how all my girls so easily stopped everything and put each other first and felt the joy of being of service to those they love. I also watched them…face fears with a resolute bravery.
“We all know that moment when no one else can help us, and all we can do is close our eyes and breathe. When only we can take the next step or breath through the pain, so we steady ourselves and do it.”

Angelina failed to mention her kids’ father, ex-husband Brad Pitt, who was spotted with a mystery woman in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood actor was seen watching Thundercat with a young female companion with a buzzcut, although there appeared to be nothing romantic about their outing.
Jolie did, however, say that the girls’ brothers were “there for them” and were “supportive and sweet”.
The Mr And Mrs Smith actress has had her own operations in the past, including a double mastectomy and having her ovaries removed to help ward off cancer.
Angelina and Brad filed for divorce in September 2016 following an incident on a plane when Brad allegedly lost control of himself and clashed with son Maddox, 16.
The Hollywood couple then released a joint statement where they said they’d agreed to settle their divorce in private.
