Kevin Hart feels ''blessed'' to be alive after his car crash but says he knows it will be a long ''process'' to recovery.

The 40-year-old stand-up comedian and actor admits it is a ''process'' to get better after he suffered three fractures in his spine following a car collision in Malibu in September.

Speaking to a TMZ reporter as he was walking to his car from a shopping plaza Calabasas over the weekend, he said: ''I'm doing good, man. I'm feeling great. I'm blessed to be alive, brother. It's a process, gonna take some time.

"Right now, I'm relaxing, enjoying the family and recovering. That's all that matters right now".

The Central Intelligence star recently took to social media to confess he ''sees things differently'' after his car crash.

Speaking in a video posted to his Instagram account, he said: ''When God talks, you gotta listen. I swear, life is funny. Because some of the craziest things that happen to you end up being the thing that you needed most. And in this case, I honestly feel like God basically told me to sit down. After my accident, I see things differently. I see life from a whole new perspective.

''My appreciation for life is through the roof. I'm thankful for my family, my friends. I'm thankful for the people that simply ride with me and have been with me. Because you stood by me, my fans. I'm thankful for all of your love and support.

"Don't take today for granted because tomorrow's not promised. I'm thankful for simply still being here, on the road to being a bigger and better version of me. I'm looking forward to an amazing 2020.''
