The good news is, the beloved multi-talented actor is on the mend. What we still do not know is what caused Jamie Foxx’s sudden medical emergency.
Sources claim the doctors are still trying to figure out the cause of his medical condition.
According to People, a source said, he is steadily improving.
His daughter, Corinne Foxx, first let fans know of his health condition on Wednesday when she revealed that he sustained “a medical complication,” on Tuesday.
She did not share details of Foxx’s state or what caused his health emergency.
‘We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” shared Corinne, 29, in a statement written on behalf of the Foxx family.
“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 statement reads. “The family asks for privacy during this time.”
He was recently seen filming his latest movie, Netflix’s Back in Action.
The set was “shut down” on Wednesday following the lead actor’s health scare.
Filming resumed on Thursday using a stand-in for Foxx on set, a source said.
According to an email obtained by PEOPLE on Thursday, a casting director on Back in Action — which Foxx had been filming in Atlanta with Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close earlier this week — informed extras that a scene set to film this Sunday has been canceled due to “changes in production.”
That scene will not be rescheduled due to the changes, but scenes scheduled to film on Monday and Tuesday are expected to move forward as planned, per the memo.
Since Corinne’s announcement, some of Foxx’s famous friends have paid tribute to him on social media.
LeBron James tweeted on Thursday, wrote, “Sending my thoughts and prayers to the heavens above to my brother @iamjamiefoxx!!!! Get well and back to yourself SOONER THAN LATER! God willing.”
His Ray costar Kerry Washington shared a sweet throwback snap of her resting her head on Foxx on Instagram Thursday.
“A @iamjamiefoxx appreciation post,” the Scandal alum captioned the moment. “Sending you all the love and prayers my movie huzbin??❤️??❤️??❤️??❤️??❤️??❤️??.”
Jamie continues to trend on Twitter as fans send well wishes as well.

Jamie Foxx is truly one of a kind. I'll never forget his Brady Bunch cover with the Prince, Luther Vandross & Babyface impressions. It was so good I added it to my R&B mix cd?#comedy #standup #jamiefoxx #RnB
