Beloved actor-comedian and Miami fixture Jamie Foxx is reportedly on the mend.

That’s according to his daughter Corinne Foxx who gave fans an update on Friday.

After spending several weeks hospitalized in Atlanta for an undisclosed medical condition, Foxx is now out and back home, she said.

Corinne Foxx took to social media to respond to persistent rumors surrounding her father’s health.

“Sad to see how the media runs wild,” she wrote. “My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support!”

Foxx, who was in town for the Miami Open and hanging out on Loren Ridinger’s yacht in March, was initially hospitalized near the set of his upcoming movie, “Back in Action,” on April 12. At the time, Corinne wrote that the 55-year-old had suffered a “medical complication.”

In her now deleted post, she said Foxx was recovering due to “quick action and great care.”

In a post from the Oscar winner’s Insta account on May 4, the “Django Unchained” star reportedly wrote a note to his millions of followers that he was “feeling blessed” and appreciated all the love.

Time will tell. In her post, Corinne added that there was an “exciting work announcement coming next week.”
