Ford’s son delivered the encouraging news on Twitter last night.
Harrison Ford is believed to be in a “fair to moderate” condition after crash landing a plane on a golf course in Venice, California yesterday.
The 72-year old star of the Indiana Jones and Star Wars franchises, as well as countless other well-known movies, crash-landed a vintage World War II training plane, a 1942 Ryan Aeronautical model ST3KR after the plane reportedly experienced engine failure mid-flight.

Ford, who was the only person on board the aircraft, was treated at the scene by two doctors who happened to be on the golf course at the time.
A spokesperson for the Santa Monica Airport Association, meanwhile, described Ford’s landing as “an absolutely beautifully executed emergency landing by an unbelievably well-trained pilot”.
Get well soon Harrison.
