The friend claimed: “He’s at home resting, getting better.”

The source added that he’s doing well, but it will be a “journey” for the comedian to get back to his best.

Jamie’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, confirmed the news of his discharge on Friday, claiming the actor is “even playing pickleball.”

The details behind Jamie’s sudden hospitalization have yet to be disclosed by his family, and The U.S. Sun has chosen not to share further details.

Jamie broke his silence on Instagram this week, sharing a blacked-out image with the words: “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed.” 

PRAYERS FOR JAMIE

Many of Jamie’s famous friends and fans flooded his post with words of support.

Corinne posted a brief statement on Instagram after her father fell ill, writing: “We wanted to share that my father Jamie Foxx experienced a medical complication yesterday [April 11].”

The statement continued: “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”

Jamie’s health struggle left studio execs scrambling, as he’s a busy man with many ongoing projects in Hollywood.

He hosted the Fox network game show Beat Shazam, but The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed a famous friend will fill in while he recovers.

REPLACEMENT HOST

Jamie has a new project he will be working on going into the fall, which has not been postponed currently. 

Nick, 42, is close friends with Jamie, as he offered an update on his condition at the end of April and teased he will be doing a “favor” for the actor.

He told ET: “Man, I’m praying. You see, I posted on Instagram. I literally have been saying prayers out loud. Words of affirmation for my big brother.

“I know he’s doing so much better because I’m actually about to do something special for him, and doing him a favor.”

The Daily Cannon host continued of the favor: “I can’t really say what it is, but it’ll be out there soon. I was reluctant to go all the way there, and even talk about it, but he gave me the blessing, so it’s a beautiful thing.

“He’s awake. They say he’s alert, so, we love it.”

Corinne, who DJs on Beat Shazam, will be also be taking a break from the show as she supports her father during his recovery.
