Jamie Foxx<\/a>, who was hospitalized last week for an undisclosed medical issue, is doing better, according to his friend Martin Lawrence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I hear he’s doing better,” Lawrence, 58, told Extra<\/a><\/em> on Thursday as he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “My prayers go out for him every night and just wishing the best for him.”<\/p>\n

Other reports also indicate that Foxx, 55, is steadily improving at a hospital in Georgia.<\/p>\n

“He’s OK, thank God,” a source told PEOPLE<\/a>. “He’s still in the hospital and doctors are running tests, but he’s awake and alert. They’re keeping him under observation.”<\/p>\n

Foxx’s daughter Corinne Foxx shared news about the Oscar-winning Ray <\/em>star’s health on Instagram<\/a> on April 12, writing that the singer and actor experienced a “medical complication,” but was recovering thanks to “quick action and great care.”<\/p>\n

Foxx had been filming the Netflix movie Back in Action <\/em><\/em>in Atlanta, although PEOPLE reports that the medical incident didn’t happen on set and Foxx was not taken to the hospital by an emergency vehicle. Back in Action<\/em> also stars\u00a0Cameron Diaz<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Glenn Close<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the Walk of Fame red carpet, Lawrence acknowledged the influence of Richard Pryor<\/a> and Eddie Murphy<\/a> on his career and the brotherhood he shares with Steve Harvey<\/a> and Tracy Morgan<\/a>, as well as the weight of Foxx’s absence at the star ceremony.<\/p>\n

“He’s one of the best we’ve got in Hollywood,” Lawrence said. “Not only one of the best entertainers but a good person.”<\/p>\n
