"Update from the family: (It's) sad to see how the media runs wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone's prayers and support! We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too."

Why did Jamie Foxx's daughter Corinne Foxx issue the health update?

After Jamie collapsed on the set of Back In Action and was transported to a hospital in Atlanta, many speculations about his health were made.

The American actor reportedly suffered a stroke caused by high blood pressure creating blood clots in his brain. Mid-day.com said doctors revealed that if Foxx wasn't rushed to the hospital soon after collapsing, he would have died.

News sources close to the Foxx family revealed they were preparing for the worst, but Foxx's daughter has since debunked that.
