The loving brother captioned the birthday carousel: "Happy birthday to my beautiful for sister @frequency11 'D'…you are magical you are beautiful you are the courageous lionesses #leoseason. 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 #swipeleft."

Foxx credited, without going into detail, his sister for making important health decisions for him. It comes as Foxx recently faced medical complications on set in Atlanta and was later hospitalised. In a previous post, Foxx shared his sister and daughter are the reason he is here confessing: "To be honest with you, my sister Deidra Dixon, my daughter Corinne Marie saved my life."

The Ray star continued: "So today, and to God, to a lot of great medical people, I'm able to leave you this video. I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way."

Due to said health issues, Foxx had to temporarily halt filming on the upcoming movie Back in Action starring Cameron Diaz. Foxx's temporary absence from the set created many changes to the movie including Cameron needing to act with Foxx's body double once filming began again. The details of Foxx's medical emergency were never revealed, but the actor has since been deemed as "stable" and recovering.
