The “Scandal” alum’s post came one day after Foxx’s eldest daughter, Corinne, revealed he suffered a “medical complication” Tuesday.

“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” the 29-year-old captioned a “message from the Foxx family” via Instagram the following day.


Everything we know about Jamie Foxx's hospitalization

When was Foxx hospitalized?

Jamie Foxx was hospitalized in Georgia on April 12 after suffering from a “medical complication,” according to a post on his daughter’s Instagram.

Foxx, now reportedly awake and alert, is still in the hospital nearly three weeks after the undisclosed “medical complication.” Doctors are still running tests to try to figure out what exactly happened.

Family and friends who are close to him are asking fans to pray for him.

What are his family and friends saying?

Corinne Foxx, Jamie’s daughter, wrote, “We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” in an Instagram story.

“Masked Singer” host Nick Cannon asked his fans to speak “words of affirmation” over Foxx as he continues to recover.

Martin Lawrence told the media that Foxx was “doing better” and called Foxx “one of the best that we got in Hollywood.”

Actress Kerry Washington posted an appreciation post on her Instagram of her and Foxx after hearing about his hospitalization.

What was Foxx working on before being rushed to the hospital?

Before going to the hospital, Foxx was working on the “Back in Action” movie with actress Cameron Diaz. While Foxx remains in the hospital, Diaz returned to the set to film scenes with Foxx’s body double.

“Beat Shazam,” the game show co-hosted by Foxx and his daughter Corinne, has started filming its new season and found another host to replace Fox, according to reports.

Corinne will not be in the new season as she will be staying by her father’s side at the hospital.

“We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers,” she continued. “The family asks for privacy during this time.”

A source told TMZ at the time that the Oscar winner was hospitalized with a condition “serious enough” to bring his family members to town.

“He’s communicating now, and that’s good news,” the insider with “direct knowledge” shared with the outlet.

In the wake of the announcement, many of Washington’s followers were “scared” by her emotional post before reading the caption.

“Y’all need to start just posting a heart or something instead of these kind of pictures it’s alarming lol,” one Instagram user wrote.

Foxx’s project made headlines in March when the Daily Mail reported that the Golden Globe winner had a “meltdown” on set that has his co-star considering re-retirement.

That same month, production was allegedly halted for an investigation when Foxx became the target of a $40,000 scam.
