Jamie Foxx 'doing a lot better' and joking with family after 'medical complication'

Jamie Foxx is in high spirits after he was hospitalised following a "medical complication".

The actor, 55, is said to be well on the road to recovery and hasn't let the health scare dampen his sense of humour.

On Wednesday evening Jamie's daughter, Corinne took to Instagram to update fans on Jamie's condition: "We wanted to share that my father Jamie Foxx experienced a medical complication yesterday."

"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."

In a recent update, sources have told TMZ that Jamie is "doing a lot better," and is said to be cracking jokes with his family.

Although, the publication says that doctors are yet to get to the bottom of what happened to him and they are currently doing tests.

Jamie was rushed to the hospital on Tuesday, and TMZ stated that the case was "serious enough" for his family to be called - some of whom were out of town.

On Wednesday, Corinne said that her dad received "great care" and was on the mend.

Jamie was in Atlanta shooting Back in Action, a Netflix comedy which co-stars Cameron Diaz.

It marks Cameron's first return to a film role in nearly 10 years.

The film also stars Andrew Scott Jamie Demetriou and is directed by Seth Gordon, who Jamie worked on Horrible Bosses.

In 2005, Jamie won best actor at the Oscars for his role as Ray Charles in the biopic, Ray.

He's also starred in Django Unchained, Annie, Jarhead and the Spider-Man franchise.
