Jamie Foxx In Dire Straits!

Fears that Jamie Foxx may not make it.

American entertainer Jamie Foxx has been hospitalized since March. It appears that the "medical emergency" is far worse than expected. Many of his family and friends are calling for prayers.

The entertainer was filming a movie in Atlanta when he had this emergency. He has been hospitalized since and the family is mum on his health status.

Foxx's eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx, reacted to her father's social media update, sharing it to her Instagram Story and writing, "Thanks for the love!"

In a now-deleted statement from mid-April, she said her father was "already on his way to recovery" thanks to "quick action and care." She mentioned a "medical complication" but gave no additional information.

"We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers," Corinne Foxx said. "The family asks for privacy during this time."

The actor had been shooting his upcoming film "Back in Action," which co-stars Cameron Diaz, prior to his health scare.
