"Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba will be notably absent for tonight's premiere of the dancing competition.

Inaba, 57, wrote on Instagram on Tuesday, Sept. 16, that she "will not be at the show tonight as I am feeling quite under the weather" and she's "resting up and can't wait to be back next week in good health."

The judge continued, "In the meantime, I wish all the contestants the very best of luck. I’ll be cheering you on from home. Have a great show everyone!"

There will be no guest judge filling in for Inaba on the panel, which includes Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough, for the season premiere airing on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Season 34 of "DWTS" includes star dancers Hilaria Baldwin, former child star Corey Feldman and two cast members from "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt.

Hough posted hearts in the comment sections to his fellow judge Inaba, while co-host Julianne Hough wrote, "Get better soon sis." Pro dancer Jenna Johnson added, "Feel better Carrie Ann!!!" Contestant Baldwin wrote, "Feel better."

Inaba has been open about her health struggles, taking a leave from "The Talk" in April 2021 and writing, "We all know health is the most precious gift we have. And I need to take care of mine." Inaba left the talk show in Sept. 2021.

On Sept. 8, Inaba wrote on Instagram about her excitement for the new "DWTS" season. "After almost 9 months of staying at home and taking care of my aging animals it's time for mama to get back to it."
