Kevin Hart is thankful to be alive.

In a video obtained by TMZ, the comedian is seen walking out of a shopping plaza in California and getting into a car. In the process of doing so, he tells the outlet that he’s feeling “great” and is “blessed to be alive.”

Hart is still a ways from making a full recovery, but he’s being patient throughout the journey.

“It’s a process,” the “Night School” star said. “It’s going to take some time, but I’m patient.”

Hart, arguably one of the busiest men in Hollywood, noted he’s in no rush to get back to work.

“In time. Right now I’m relaxing,” Hart said adding that he’s spending time with his family.

The comedian has been laying low since his car crash in September.

Nearly two months after suffering a major back injury in the crash of his vintage muscle car in California, Hart made a return to social media to thank fans for their support and reflect on how his point of view has altered. 

“I was involved in an accident. My world was forever changed,” read text at the beginning of a video posted to Hart’s Instagram last week in his first post since the day before the accident.  

The video shared news footage of the crash, which occurred in Malibu just after midnight on Sept. 1. Hart, 40, was a passenger in his 1970 Plymouth Barracuda when it drove off Mulholland Highway and rolled down an embankment, according to a California Highway Patrol collision report obtained at the time by USA TODAY. 

Later, the video cut to personal footage taken at the hospital, where Hart struggled to walk, even with the help of two nurses and a walker. He also shared shots from physical therapy sessions in the gym and pool while displaying a major scar on his back.
