Jamie Foxx has released a statement following his recent health scare.
The actor has taken to Instagram with a simple message telling fans he appreciates “all the love” and despite being hospitalised for a medical emergency last month, he said he is “feeling blessed”.
In April the 55-year-old was rushed to hospital with his daughter, Corinne revealing at the time he was being treated by doctors after a medical “complication”.

TMZ has since reported he’s still under the care of doctors more than three weeks later - and has not been able to take part in filming for his music series, Beat Shazam, which is said to have gone into production days after he fell ill.
The news outlet has reported neither Foxx or his daughter Corinne - who acts as the show’s DJ - will take part in the series and it will go ahead with a new host replacing the actor.
Foxx fell ill in Atlanta, Georgia while he was in town filming his new Netflix movie Back in Action with Cameron Diaz. No more details were given about the nature of his illness but Corinne insisted the Ray star is on his way to recovery.
She said in a family statement: “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.
“We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”
