Hollywood star Jamie Foxx is steadily improving after being admitted to a hospital in Atlanta after suffering a medical complication.

On April 13, the Oscar-winning actor's daughter Corinne Foxx first let fans know of his health condition on Wednesday when she revealed that he sustained "a medical complication,".

She did not share details of Foxx's condition or what led to his health emergency.

“We wanted to share that my father Jamie Foxx experienced a medical complication yesterday,” Corinne Foxx wrote on Instagram.

She added, “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 asks for privacy during this time,”.

Foxx has been in Atlanta, Georgia, filming an upcoming Netflix comedy movie with Cameron Diaz, “Back in Action”. Directed by “Horrible Bosses” helmer Seth Gordon, it also stars Glenn Close, “Fleabag” priest Andrew Scott and comedian Jamie Demetriou.

Diaz came “out of retirement” for the project, her first in almost a decade.

A source previously said that the medical incident did not happen on the set and Foxx was not transported by emergency vehicle to the hospital.

A separate source close to the production of the movie disclosed that Back in Action's set was "shut down" on Wednesday following the actor's health scare. Filming resumed on Thursday using a stand-in for Foxx on set. 

Filming is expected to wrap up next week.
