Jamie Foxx is feeling “blessed” as he continues to battle health issues that left him hospitalized.

The actor, 55, took to social media to break his silence after he was hospitalized for a medical emergency on April 11.

“Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed,” Foxx wrote in an Instagram post on Wednesday along with emojis of praying hands, a red heart and a fox.

He also shared his appreciation for Nick Cannon, who took over as host of his show “Beat Shazam” in the “Ray” actor’s absence.

“Appreciate ya my boy @NickCannon,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “See u all soon.”

The show shared in a statement that Cannon would be stepping in with the help of Kelly Osbourne.

The post went on, “Everyone at FOX Entertainment wishes Jamie well as he continues his recovery, and we greatly appreciate Nick’s willingness to jump in and help this summer.”

Foxx has been hospitalized with a mystery illness for almost a month. His daughter revealed that he was rushed to the hospital over a “medical complication” in mid-April.

“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” Corinne, 29, wrote on Instagram at the time. “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”

His health issues follow reports that he had a meltdown on set of his new movie with Cameron Diaz.

Amid his hospitalization, the movie temporarily halted filming but resumed days later with a body double for Foxx.

Last month, reports surfaced that Foxx’s health was improving steadily. And another source confirmed that Foxx was awake and alert.
