Jamie Foxx has spoken publicly for the first time since being hospitalised for a medical complication in April.
"First of all, I wanna say thank you to everybody that's prayed, man, and sent me messages," Foxx began in an Instagram video shared on Saturday. "I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back."
Foxx thanked his daughter, Corinne Foxx and sister, Deidra Dixon, for helping him and keeping his situation under wraps.
"They saved my life," he said. "To them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I'm able to leave you this video."
"I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way," he added, "and y'all know they kept it airtight, they didn't let nothing out, they protected me, and that's what I hope that everyone could have in moments like these."
The Night Shift actor then quashed rumours of his condition, saying, "Some people said I was blind. But as you can see, the eyes are working. The eyes are working just fine.
