Kevin Smith has returned home from the hospital, three days after suffering a massive heart attack at a comedy club in Glendale, Calif.
“Home again, home again, jiggety-jig! Home is where the heart is and the heart is feeling good!” the filmmaker wrote on social media.
“It’s actually getting more blood flow and oxygen than it has in a long time. So I am ALERT, to say the least! I just wanted to thank you all for the kind words you took the time to write to me about what my work has meant to you,” the 47-year-old actor wrote.

As previously reported, Smith said he had a “massive” heart attack after performing at a Los Angeles comedy show Sunday night.
The Clerks director shared a photo of himself in the hospital.
“After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack,” Smith tweeted. “The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka ‘the Widow-Maker’). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground!”
