Zac Efron shared a message on his Instagram Story on Sunday after news broke that he was hospitalized for a swimming incident in Spain a few days prior.

“Happy and healthy,” Efron wrote. “Thanks for the well wishes.”

The actor had a “minor swimming incident” on Friday night while using the pool at a villa in Ibiza, a representative for Efron confirmed to People.

Efron was taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure and was released on Saturday morning. “He is fine,” the rep told People.

Efron’s reps did not respond to Variety’s request for comment. TMZ was the first to report Efron’s hospitalization.

While in Spain, the “Iron Claw” star attended a DJ Martin Garrix concert at the Ushuaïa Ibiza Hotel and Beach Club. Videos were shared on social media of Efron joining Garrix on stage and hyping up the crowd.

Efron’s most recent credits include Netflix’s “A Family Affair,” “Ricky Stanicky,” “The Greatest Beer Run Ever” and “The Iron Claw.”

He will soon join the cast of another A24 production, entitled “Famous,” from director Jody Hill. Based on the 2010 novel of the same name by Blake Crouch, Efron will have two roles in the film: cinema superfan Lance Dunkquist and Hollywood superstar James Jansen.

According to an official logline, the film follows Lance who, although a loser in his every day, “has the face of a movie star. Not just any movie star – Lance has been mistaken for Hollywood star James Jansen 228 times. And now Lance is about to go to LA to make his dream come true. No matter what it takes.”
