Los Angeles: Val Kilmer confirmed that he is hospitalized and awaiting medical results, but said he has no tumour and hasn’t had surgery.
In a message on his Facebook page on Saturday, the 55-year-old Kilmer said he was in UCLA Medical Center’s intensive care for a “complication.”
“We are waiting for x ray results and will stay close to my doctors advising, my family and Christian Science practitioner when all the facts are in,” he said in the post. “Then I’ll do what’s best and be back at it sooner than u can shake a gossip column at an out of work actor.”
Kilmer thanked fans for their support and told them not to worry.
Earlier Saturday, his publicist, Liz Rosenberg, confirmed Saturday that he is at a Los Angeles hospital and that doctors are “encouraged by his progress”, and hopeful he will make a full recovery.
Rosenberg says the actor’s two children, 23-year-old Mercedes and 19-year-old Jack, are caring for him.
Kilmer is known for roles in movies ranging from Top Gun to Heat to Tombstone.
