Jackass star Bam Margera thanks fans for their "prayers" amid his scary pneumonia health scare as he officially leaves the hospital.
The stuntman, 43, appears to be on the mend after a stint with paramedics after falling ill, combined with a short coronavirus battle.
Just days ago, his team had issued an update on his health after arriving in hospital, saying: "He is now testing negative for COVID and receiving care for pneumonia.
"Bam is on the road to recovery and thankfully will be discharged soon."
Now, he appears delighted to share the news that he is "out" of hospital, sharing a sweet snap with a pal and thanking his followers.
Taking to Instagram, he penned: "I’m out! Thank you to my friends, family and you for the love, support and prayers."
Last week, when he was hospitalised in San Diego earlier this week, fans took to Twitter to offer their well wishes to the stunt performer.
One person Tweeted: "I’m wishing Bam Margera a quick and speedy recovery." Bam's condition is said to be stable.
Another said: "Pray for Bam margera, i hope you get better soon," while a third commented: "Awww man, poor @BAM__MARGERA I hope he feels better soon! I pray for his family."
Pneumonia is swelling of the tissue in one or both lungs and it's usually caused by a bacterial infection or a virus.
Symptoms can develop suddenly and include a cough, difficulty breathing, a high temperature and a rapid heartbeat.
The TV personality has been in and out of rehab centres over the past year as he completed a one-year treatment program for drug and alcohol abuse.
Back in June, Bam had been reported 'missing' after fleeing a rehab centre in Florida.
Police sent out a search party after he reportedly fled the rehabilitation centre, and at the time, his rehab manager reported the star missing after he told staff at the centre that he was 'unhappy' with the place and 'their services'.
After Bam was found, speculation about his wellbeing began to circulate among fans as they started to question whether the much-loved star had been placed under a conservatorship by his family.
Bam's family later released a statement denying that he is under any kind of conservatorship.
Taking to Instagram, they said: "It's no secret that Bam has struggled with mental health and addiction. You've watched Ban grow up and supported him through his ups and downs.
"Our family has let you into the chaos that is our home, and we want nothing more than to continue this journey together."
The statement went on to address the 'Free Bam movement', explaining that it had 'caused confusion and threat to Bam' and his family.
