SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (KABC) -- Former first lady Nancy Reagan is recovering after she broke several ribs from falling inside her Los Angeles home.

The announcement of her injury was made Tuesday at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, where Regan was scheduled to attend a speech by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
