Jamie Foxx’s daughter has provided an uplifting update on her father’s health, following his recent hospitalization that caused concern among fans.
The renowned actor, best known for his role in Django Unchained, was admitted for treatment due to a “medical emergency.” However, Corrine Foxx took to social media to dispel rumors and reassure everyone that her father is now recovering at home.
Addressing the misleading reports, Corrine posted on her Instagram story, “Update from the family: ‘Sad to see how the media runs wild.'” She further stated, “My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday!” Expressing gratitude for the support and prayers received, Corrine hinted at an exciting work announcement scheduled for the following week.

The exact reason behind Jamie’s medical treatment remains undisclosed, although previous reports suggested that doctors were conducting a series of tests to determine the cause of the incident. Shortly before his hospitalization, Jamie had been involved in filming for his upcoming Netflix film, Back In Action, in Atlanta. His family rushed to be by his side during this challenging time, with Corrine initially sharing the news of his illness in a now-deleted Instagram post.
From the Foxx Family’s perspective, Corrine conveyed their gratitude for the outpouring of love and kind wishes, stating, “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 requested privacy while Jamie recuperates.
On May 3, the Day Shift star himself broke his silence, expressing his appreciation for the love and blessings he has received. Using simple yet heartfelt words, he wrote, “Appreciate all the love!! Feeling blessed,” accompanied by praying hands, a heart, and a fox emoji.
Jamie also utilized his Instagram Story to share a post revealing that Nick Cannon and Kelly Osbourne would temporarily take over as hosts of Beat Shazam, the game show he co-hosts with Corrine, during his hospital stay. Expressing gratitude to his friend Nick Cannon, Jamie concluded by saying, “Appreciate ya my boy @nickcannon. See u all soon [sic].”
With this positive update on Jamie Foxx’s health, fans can breathe a sigh of relief and eagerly await his forthcoming work announcement. It is heartening to witness the support and love pouring in from both Hollywood and his dedicated fan base during this time of recovery.
