Jamie Foxx's daughter speaks out as actor remains in hospital after mystery health scare

Jamie Foxx's daughter has thanked fans for their love and support as her father remains in hospital three weeks after suffering a medical emergency.

The Oscar-winning actor has remained in hospital since April 11 following a "serious medical complication" on the set of his upcoming movie.

The 55-year-old is said to have needed immediate medical attention after being taken to hospital, with a source claiming Jamie is "very lucky to be alive".

His daughter Corinne Foxx has now taken to her Instagram Story to share her appreciation for all the well wishes.

"Thanks for the love!" she wrote, adding a red heart emoji.

Her comments come after Jamie himself spoke out for the first time about the ordeal.

Taking to social media on Wednesday, Jamie said he was "feeling blessed" by the outpour of support that he has received.

On a plain background he wrote: "Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed."

His post was inundated with support from fans and famous faces.

Ellen DeGeneres commented: "I'm sending love to you every single day," while Vin Diesel and Courteney Cox each left a prayer hand emoji.

Actor Ansel Elgort wrote: "You are the greatest Jamie, please make a speedy recovery. You are a blessing to this world, we need you in it."

Jamie also thanked Nick Cannon and Kelly Osbourne for temporarily filling in for him and his daughter on their show Beat Shazam.

Jamie is currently in a medical facility and undergoing tests after his mysterious incident while filming for Netflix movie Back in Action.

Doctors are yet to get to the bottom of what happened to Jamie, but a source has said it was "touch and go" at first.

"Jamie suffered a serious medical episode and needed immediate attention. It was touch and go for days with him, and he had to be revived — he is very lucky to be alive!

"He's very lucky he got the treatment he did. Jamie suffers from high blood pressure, which doctors say can cause clots in the brain leading to a stroke.

"Doctors believe this was a long time coming, and really, if they hadn't acted fast, Jamie might well have been a goner," the source told radaronline.
