Corinne Foxx, eldest daughter of American actor Jamie Foxx, has shared the news of her father’s hospitalisation.

Taking to social media with a post on behalf of the entire Foxx family, Corinne revealed that Jamie “experienced a medical complication”, and that thanks to “quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.” 

The 29-year-old actress went on to add that the family were grateful from the thoughts and prayers of Jamie’s followers, and that they were requesting privacy during their difficult time.

A source informed TMZ that Jamie’s condition had been so serious that members of the actor’s family had raced in from out of town to see him in hospital, but that “he’s communicating now, and that’s good news.” 

The scare comes just weeks after Jamie returned to the set of his film Back in Action, in the wake of reports breaking that the star had fired multiple people working on the project – an executive producer and two directors. 

“There have been some issues on set and Jamie has had a major ‘meltdown’ over it all,” a source told The Sun at the time. “He demanded the problems be sorted immediately and sacked four of the production staff, as if that would magically improve the situation.

“Some people working on it are totally fed up with how this has played out and Jamie has become pretty unpopular.”

It remains unclear whether or not Jamie’s illness will impact the filming schedule for Back in Action. As recently as days before his incident, Jamie had been seen recording scenes with co-star Cameron Diaz in England. 

Cameron had previously announced her retirement from acting, but credited Jamie with getting her back on board when she signed up to star alongside him – in their third film project together – when she declared on social media that “only you [Jamie Foxx] could get me back in action. I can’t frickin’ wait it’s gonna be a blast!”

And while rumours have swirled that Cameron intended to resume her retirement following the reported on set ‘drama’, a source stressed to Page Six that this was not the case. 

“When you are in a position of authority, sometimes you have to make decisions to let people go who do not share the same vision as you,” the source said, before explaining that they would be surprised to learn of any lingering tensions between the film’s two stars.  

“Cameron is a businessperson and understands that this is necessary at times and, honestly, Jamie is the only reason that she is doing this film and they are still very close.”
