Foxx also alluded to his reportedly near-fatal medical incident, adding, "And without you I would not be here, had you not made the decisions that you made I would've lost my life."

"I love you forever and ever happy birthday sis."

In his first time addressing fans last month, the Ray star revealed his sister and daughter Corrine "saved his life," while also clarifying rumors about his recovery.

"I went to hell and back," Foxx said. "And my road to recovery had some potholes as well. But I'm coming back. And I'm able to work."
