In an Instagram post, Jamie Foxx tells his fans that he is getting better after being sick.

In an Instagram video, the Oscar-winning actor, singer, and comedian said that he is overcoming a health issue.

Foxx, who looked thin and wore a dark pullover shirt in the video, added, "I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery has some potholes as well, but I'm coming back." The video was three minutes and fifteen seconds long. That's why I can say, "I'm able to work."

Foxx, 55, did not divulge the nature of his condition in his first public comments since being hospitalized in April due to what his daughter Corinne Fox described at the time as a "medical complication."

I didn't want you to view me that way because..." Foxx thanked his daughter, sister, God, and medical personnel for saving his life, saying, "I didn't want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through."

For the first time in my life, I experienced something I believed I would never have to face, Foxx remarked.

Occasionally I just break down and cry... mainly because I've had it rough lately, guy; I was sick. Foxx declared, "I've got my feet on the ground now, and you're going to see me."

Foxx's co-stars in "They Cloned Tyrone" (David Alan Grier, Teyonah Parris, and Tamberla Perry) expressed their sadness about his absence from the film's Los Angeles premiere on June 28 to The Associated Press.

Saying, "Just praying that he gets better and takes whatever time he needs to heal," Perry expressed his hope that his friend would soon feel better.

Foxx, born Eric Marlon Bishop in Terrell, Texas in 1967, began his career as a stand-up comic before landing a series regular role on the Fox TV musical comedy "In Living Color" in 1990.
