Snoop Dogg has thanked those praying for his 24-year-old daughter as she recovers from a severe stroke.
The rapper and actor expressed his gratitude as he attended the world premiere of his upcoming film The Underdoggs.
Legions of fans waited for hours to get a glimpse of the California-born star at the Culver Theatre in Los Angeles, where he took selfies to the delight of fans.
The premiere of the comedy sports film comes days after his daughter Cori Broadus, who he shares with wife Shante, shared her health scare on Instagram with her more than 650,000 followers.
"Thank y'all for praying for her, appreciate it," he told the PA news agency on the purple carpet.
The comment came after Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, explained his new film is about "family, love and community".
He stars as Jaycen 'Two Js' Jennings, an ex-American football star who has hit rock bottom and is sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly children's team in his hometown of Long Beach, California.
"The inspiration was my youth football league," he told PA.
"I created a youth football league in 2005 and this movie is an inspirational piece from that, kids from my league who played inspired me to create this beautiful story, you get a beautiful ensemble of characters to come out and play."
The Underdoggs is set for release on Prime Video on 26 January.
