Jamie Foxx is reportedly on the mend after suffering a medical complication.
The “Ray” actor is “steadily improving” a source told People on Friday.
A separate source also told the outlet that production on “Back In Action” — the movie Foxx is currently filming — was “shut down” on Wednesday following his health scare.
However, photos showed filming resuming the following day with a stand-in being used for the Oscar winner.
Fans first learned of the “Day Shift” actor’s condition after his daughter and “Beat Shazam” co-host Corinne Foxx revealed that her dad was in “recovery” following the medical scare.
Corinne, 29, took to Instagram Wednesday night to share a message “from the Foxx family.”
“We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” the statement began.
“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.”
The family’s message continued, “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”
Sources with “direct knowledge” of the situation further told TMZ that Jamie was taken to the hospital Tuesday morning in a “serious enough” condition that members of his family traveled to be by his side.
“He’s communicating now, and that’s good news,” one of the outlet’s insiders noted.
The actor shares Corinne with his ex Connie Kline and a second daughter, Annalise Bishop, 14, with his ex Kristin Grannis.
In addition to his family, the “Horrible Bosses” actor has received plenty of support from his pals.
Kerry Washington sent “love and prayers” to her “movie huzbin” after she portrayed his wives in “Ray” and “Django Unchained” in 2004 and 2012, respectively.
“A @iamjamiefoxx appreciation post,” Washington, 46, captioned a throwback photo of the duo looking cozy on a red carpet.
“Sending you all the love and prayers my movie huzbin.”
Viola Davis, who appeared in “Law Abiding Citizen” with Foxx in 2009, also shared a throwback photo.
“Get well, Jamie Foxx,” Davis captioned her Instagram post.
“We need you…. your light, your brilliance.”
Meanwhile, NBA star LeBron James took to Twitter to show his support for Jamie.
“Sending my thoughts and prayers to the heavens above to my brother, Jamie Foxx!!!!” he tweeted.
“Get well and back to yourself SOONER THAN LATER! God willing.”
Jamie’s health scare came a few weeks after he returned to the set of “Back in Action” amid reports that he had a “meltdown” that allegedly caused co-star Cameron Diaz to want to quit acting again.
The two were photographed filming together again days later.
