Jamie Foxx breaks silence amid hospitalization to send love to fans: 'Feeling blessed'

The actor has been hospitalized for three weeks for an undisclosed medical complication.

Jamie Foxx appears to be on the mend after three weeks in a local Georgia hospital for an undisclosed medical complication.

The Oscar winner shared a brief statement on Instagram Wednesday: "Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed." In a separate Instagram Story, Foxx also thanked Nick Cannon for stepping in as guest host on Fox's Beat Shazam in the interim, adding, "See u all soon."

It was the first time fans had heard from Foxx since his daughter Corinne shared news of his hospitalization on April 12 in a since-deleted Instagram post. She posted at the time that her dad was "on his way to recovery" due to "quick action and great care" after a "medical complication" the day prior, but did not share any details about the cause.

TMZ reported early Wednesday that Foxx remains hospitalized and quoted unnamed sources who asked people to "pray for Jamie."

Reps for Foxx have remained mum about his condition and declined to comment when reached by EW, citing the star's Instagram post above.
