Washington, Jan. 31: Val Kilmer, the 'Top Gun' star, who was recently rushed to UCLA Medical Center , Santa Monica has denied reports which stated that he underwent an emergency surgery for throat tumor.
The reports stated that the star was taken to UCLA hospital, where doctors performed a surgery and he's currently recovering. It also said that Kilmer has never spoken publicly about any health issue, although it was reported earlier that his family was aware of his condition and were upset because they felt the star has ignored the problem and allowed it to get worse.
However, Val has recently released a statement on his Facebook page that said he had some health complication and was admitted to the hospital to get well soon under doctor's supervision. The statement is as follows
'Thank you for all your sweet support. But I have not had a tumor, or a tumor operation, or any operation. I had a complication where the best way to receive care was to stay under the watchful eye of the ucla ICU. Friends have assisted who know my spiritual convictions and have been most sensitive and kind for the extra effort in making sure there's minimum gossip and silly talk. I am praying for a speedy return to the boards as they say. God bless you all and please don't worry. Love and deep affection', Val.
