William Shatner, a Star Trek actor, has kept his fans informed of his condition since being taken to the hospital.
William Shatner has spoken out after it was reported the 94 year old was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday.
The 94-year-old Hollywood legend’s blood sugar levels are thought to have been the result of a medical emergency. The actor reportedly called 911 after fleeing his Los Angeles home yesterday, where paramedics transported him to a hospital.
A day later, William took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to tell fans “I’m perfectly fine.” The Hollywood star, who has already been met with an outpouring of online support since the health scare, wrote, “I over indulged. I thank you all for caring but I’m perfectly fine.”

The actor also included a picture of himself from the Canadian television series Murdoch Mysteries’ “Marked Twain.” Following Elvis’ death at the end of four months of constipation, harrowing details of his autopsy were revealed.
Under photo his line read, “Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!” This is a famous quote from American author Mark Twain which was his response after a newspaper report in 1897 claimed that he was dead or gravely ill, reports the Mirror US.
The beloved actor was taken to the hospital after a seemingly unresolved blood sugar issue at his Los Angeles residence, as a result of this update. He was examined and treated there by paramedics who transported him in an ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Although he didn’t go into great detail about his health issues, “blood sugar issues” could indicate either reduced blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) or elevated blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). The body doesn’t use or produce enough insulin to manage blood glucose levels, which causes both conditions.
Numerous admirers expressed their satisfaction and best wishes at the positive health update posted beneath William’s post. “Thank you Captain,” one follower said. The crew was concerned. Another supporter remarked, “Glad you’re okay, Bill.” I’m willing to wager that you will be at least 100 years old.
A third phrase was “I didn’t believe them.” You have not yet arrived for the big Academy Awards ceremony in the sky or whatever else.
Someone else made the statement, “Cent’anni!” as my Italian ancestors might put it. Happy to hear that you are all right, but I’ve always thought that’s a great way to describe you whenever you’re right. “Perfectly fine” is my motto.
William maintains that he is healthy, but he has experienced a number of medical issues, including having to battle the severe skin cancer stage 4 cancer.
He later recovered from the illness with immunotherapy, which he revealed in 2024.
He’s also previously disclosed living with tinnitus – a buzzing in the ears – for more than 30 years after a deafening on-set blast during Star Trek production. This follows a tragic incident where a zookeeper was mauled by a lion for 15 minutes, with staff revealing why no one intervened.
