Jamie Foxx is “on his way to recovery” after suffering a “medical complication”.
The 55-year-old actor was hospitalised following an incident on Tuesday, and his daughter has thanked fans for their “prayers” and asked for “privacy” at this time.
Corinne Foxx, 29, wrote on Instagram: “We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication on Thursday.
“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.
“We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time. Much love, The Foxx Family.”
It is not known at this time what caused the Oscar winner to require swift medical care.
A source told TMZ: “We’re told his condition was serious enough that Jamie’s family – some of whom were not in town – came to the hospital.
“He’s communicating now, and that’s good news.”
Two days prior to the incident, the comedian was filming his upcoming Netflix action-comedy Back in Action in Atlanta, Georgia.
The movie, which is Cameron Diaz’s big comeback, was recently hit by a bomb scare.
The shoot in London was disrupted last month when the crew discovered an unexploded World War Two bomb close to where they had been planning to film a stunt scene on the River Thames.
Filming on the explosive scene at London’s Royal Docks was cancelled and the police were called.
