Val Kilmer is out of the hospital and has posted a photo of himself smiling in the car on the way home.

On Saturday, he posted a photo of himself wearing a hooded sweatshirt, telling his fans he was “grateful” for their support.

“This was taken after I left the hospital yesterday afternoon,” he wrote. “Freedom!!!! Thanks again for all of your love and support. I'm so grateful.”

Kilmer, 55, assured fans he was OK after reports surfaced last month that he might have a tumor in his throat.

He took to Facebook at the time to deny those reports, but did say he was in the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital for other health reasons.

Kilmer updated fans when he left the hospital, “I'm so happy to say, the emergency that lead me to dial 911 is well over and I'm out of the hospital and in a safe healing environment. The doctors and nurses I met were wonderful and very respectful of my spiritual priorities and I can't thank you all enough for your professionalism and genuine care."
