Jamie Foxx suffered a mysterious health scare one month ago and is reportedly still hospitalized in Atlanta.
His daughter, Corinne Foxx, revealed April 12 in a since-deleted Instagram post that Foxx experienced a “medical complication” the day before, and “quick action and great care” helped guide him toward recovery.
The family has not disclosed Foxx’s medical issue.
Foxx shares Corinne, 29, with his ex Connie Kline. The “Ray” star also has daughter Anelise Bishop, 14, with ex Kristin Grannis.

“‘Beat Shazam’ has been an unscripted mainstay on the FOX schedule for six seasons and counting,” a statement shared by the show said. “This season, not wanting fans of the game show to miss a minute of the fun, Nick Cannon has offered to fill in as a guest host for his friends, Jamie and Corinne Foxx. Kelly Osbourne will be filling in as guest DJ.
“Everyone at FOX Entertainment wishes Jamie well as he continues his recovery, and we greatly appreciated Nick’s willingness to jump in and help this summer.”
Sources told People magazine Foxx is “stable” and recovering from the undisclosed health scare.

His friend and fellow comedian, Kevin Hart, confirmed that Foxx was on the road to recovery.
“I think the dope thing is that he’s getting better in his situation,” Hart shared on the “Impaulsive” podcast.
“Everybody’s prayers, everybody’s love, energy, all that stuff is seen and felt. So, in this case, man, you just want the guy to get out of the situation he’s in and get back home.

Foxx’s medical issue postponed the final days of filming “Back in Action.” Production crews in Atlanta reportedly shut down for a day and then began using a stand-in for Foxx on set.
