"Hoping for speedy and healthy recovery," another added.
A third said: "Sending all my love and positive vibes to Jamie Foxx! Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health."

In 2022, Foxx starred in Netflix comedy horror Day Shift, but one of his other projects was officially shelved the very same year.
Foxx co-wrote All Star Weekend with Donald 'Speedy' Caldwell Jr, as well as directing the movie and producing it alongside Avram 'Butch' Kaplan, Chuck Pacheco and Deon Taylor.
Foxx took on a lead role as basketball fanatic truck driver Malik and in a move considered controversial by some, cast Robert Downey Jr as 'a Mexican'.
The film got to post-production, however, its release was delayed and was officially shelved in 2022.
When asked why he believed the film had been shelved, Foxx told Cinemablend: "It’s been tough with the lay of the land when it comes to comedy."
