He previously opened up about how his sister helped save his life after he spoke out about his hospitalization.

Back in April, Foxx's family revealed the Ray star "experienced a medical complication" and was hospitalized for a severe, yet undisclosed medical emergency. Foxx was discharged in May, and was spotted in public in July. He was later seen out on various other occasions.

On Friday, July 21, Foxx shared a video to Instagram, in which he broke his silence on his medical emergency, revealing his condition became so severe that he didn't know if he was "going to make it through."

"I know a lot of people were waiting, you know, or wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn't want you to see me like that, man," he continued.

"You know, I want you to see me laughing, having a good time partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie television show," added Foxx. "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."

"And to be honest with you, my sister Deidra Dixon, my daughter, Corrine Marie, saved my life," Foxx added. "To them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I'm able to leave you this video."

"First of all, I wanna say thank you to everybody that's prayed, man, and sent me messages. I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back," he began. "I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through."
