William Shatner was rushed to the hospital over a medical emergency Wednesday.

The actor experienced an issue with his blood sugar while at home in Los Angeles and called for help as a precaution, TMZ reported.

An ambulance from the Los Angeles Fire Department transported the “Star Trek” legend, 94, to a local hospital.

The Emmy winner, who is best known for playing Captain James T. Kirk, is now “good” and “resting comfortably,” the outlet claimed.

Shatner’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Last year, the former “Rescue 911” host revealed he was a cancer survivor who had beat stage 4 melanoma — despite a dire prognosis.

“They said if this [treatment] they used did not work, I had about 5 months,” Shatner revealed in an interview with Healio in March 2024, though he did not disclose when the diagnosis was made.

He recalled a medical professional apologizing to him in a way that conveyed, “Better pack your things.”

Shatner noted, “That person who said ‘sorry’ … was very sad, like, ‘You are going to die.’ And I was.”

The “T.J. Hooker” alum had previously received a prostate cancer diagnosis in 2016, which ended up being a false alarm.

“That was really scary,” he admitted to NBC News in 2018. “I was told by a doctor I had a terminal disease. That I was going to die.”

Despite this, Shatner has kept up with a demanding career lately, appearing as Kirk on screen as recently as 2024 in the short film “765874 – Unification.”

Shatner is also frequently seen at public events, such as his recent appearance at Dragon Con last month. He is also slated to attend a “Space 2 Sea” convention in the Galapagos Islands in November.

The “Better Late Than Never” alum has been married four times and is a three-time father to daughters Leslie, 67, Lisabeth, 64, and Melanie, 61.

He settled his latest divorce from Elizabeth Shatner in 2020 — only for the duo to reconcile amid the coronavirus pandemic.
