Fans finally have some clarity around actor Jamie Foxx, who has been home from the hospital "for weeks" and recovering following a medical complication, according to his daughter.
The actor's daughter Corinne Foxx shared an "update from the family" on her Instagram story Friday, giving thanks for "everyone's prayers and support."
"Sad to see how the media runs wild," the 29-year-old wrote on her story, where she reposted a since-deleted social media graphic from music outlet RapTV, which claimed the family was "reportedly preparing for the worst" after Foxx's health scare. "My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating," she said. "In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday!"
In April, the Foxx family revealed on Instagram that the actor "experienced a medical complication" and was recovering in a post shared by his daughter. Foxx later made a short statement of his own on Instagram without much context as to what has been going on with his health. Up until this point, very little had been publically shared about the 55-year-old's condition.
USA TODAY has reached out to representation for Foxx on multiple occasions since his complication was announced.
