Foxx’s daughter gives update on his condition

-

Jamie Foxx’s daughter is shutting down rampant rumors about the “Ray” Oscar winner’s recent hospitaliz­ation, providing the

latest update on his mysterious “medical complicati­on” last month.

“Update from the family,”

Corinne Foxx wrote Friday on Instagram stories. “Sad to see how the media runs wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperati­ng.”

“In fact, he was playing

pickleball yesterday!” the “Beat Shazam” co-host added. “Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support! We have an exciting work announceme­nt coming next week too!”

The younger Foxx wrote her note along with an Instagram post from another outlet that claimed that Foxx’s loved ones had reportedly been preparing for the worst following his April 11 hospitaliz­ation, apparently prompting her to debunk the rumors Friday.

While the family has not disclosed what landed the “Spider-Man: No Way Home” actor in the hospital, Foxx appeared to break his silence on Instagram last week to reassure his 16.3 million followers that he was aware of their concerns.

“Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed,” said the post, which included prayer, heart and fox emojis.

His brief update came amid reports speculatin­g about his condition and whether he remained hospitaliz­ed. It also came moments after the Fox TV network announced that his game show, “Beat Shazam,” had gone into production without him and his daughter. The network announced that Foxx’s pal Nick Cannon would be guest-hosting Season 6 instead and that

Kelly Osbourne would fill in for Foxx’s daughter.

Concerns about the 55-year-old’s health began April 12 when his daughter announced in a since-deleted Instagram post that he had a medical emergency and was “already on his way to recovery” due to “quick action and great care.”
