The actor, 55, was taken to a hospital after suffering an undisclosed medical condition, his daughter Corinne Foxx revealed on Wednesday.

The family also said in the statement that Foxx was now ‘on his way to recovery,’ though they didn’t reveal what medical issue he suffered.
But a source described the issue to TMZ in more serious terms, calling it a ‘medical emergency,’ though they said Foxx was now ‘communicating’ again.
‘We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday [Tuesday],’ the family statement began.
‘Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,’ they continued.
‘We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.’

Sources confirmed to TMZ that Jamie Foxx’s unnamed condition was indeed serious enough to require him to go to a hospital.
Few details have been shared at the moment, and it’s unclear what symptoms the Oscar winner may have been suffering from, or what led to him being taken to the hospital.
Despite his family’s statement that his condition is improving, there’s no word yet on when he will be able to leave the hospital or get back to filming.
Jamie Foxx has lately been in Atlanta, Georgia, where he has been filming the action-comedy Back In Action.
The film has been marketed as the return to acting for his costar Cameron Diaz, whom he helped to lure back for the film, though she reportedly plans to retire for good after a string of catastrophes on the film set. Glenn Close is also featured in the film.
