The acclaimed actor was in Georgia filming the action-comedy flick "Back In Action."

According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, Jamie Foxx is "steadily improving" following his medical emergency and hospitalization. For those unaware, his daughter Corinne Foxx broke the news in an Instagram post. "We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday," she wrote. "Luckily, due to quick action and great case, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time. Much love, The Foxx Family."

Not only that, but apparently the situation could've been tragic according to other reports from TMZ. "We’re told his condition was serious enough that Jamie’s family, some of whom were not in town, came to the hospital,” they claimed. “He’s communicating now, and that’s good news." To elaborate, Foxx was in Georgia filing the Netflix comedy Back In Action, which now faces a slew of production issues given Foxx's hospitalization. Interestingly enough, the film was already facing a lot of issues, such as the 55-year-old being subject to a $40,000 scam while on set.

Jamie Foxx Is Slowly Recovering After Hospitalization

Furthermore, LeBron James was one of many celebrities and fans who wished the Django Unchained star well. "Sending my thoughts and prayers to the heavens above to my brother @iamjamiefoxx!!!!" LeBron wrote on Twitter. "Get well and back to yourself SOONER THAN LATER! God willing." Even though people expressed their support on social media, they did so without knowing any symptoms or barely any details as to the incident. In addition, his state of recovery has not yet resulted in a release date from the hospital or a date to continue filming.

Even though the set of Back In Action is quite hectic and disorganized at the moment, there's hope that Foxx will feel better very soon. As quite the beloved actor with a lot of range and chemistry, this certainly raised the upcoming film's profile in an unfortunate way. Hopefully Foxx's scary situation and prompt recovery will get some of those bad vibes out of the studio. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jamie Foxx.
