William Shatner is in good health, a representative for the actor confirmed after previous reports that Shatner was hospitalized for a "medical emergency."

On Wednesday, Sept. 24, TMZ reported that Shatner, 94, had been "rushed to the hospital" from his Los Angeles home after experiencing an "issue with his blood sugar." The outlet included photos of an ambulance reportedly arriving at Shatner's residence.

However, in a statement to USA TODAY, Shatner's talent agent Harry Gold said the "Star Trek" icon was not admitted to the hospital or suffering any health issues.

"He is fine," Gold said. "I spoke to Mr. Shatner yesterday, and he sounded strong and his same old self."

For his part, Shatner took to social media to debunk speculation surrounding his health and mortality. In a Sept. 25 X post, the actor shared a meme that read, "Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!"

"I over indulged," Shatner added in the post's caption. "I thank you all for caring, but I'm perfectly fine. I keep telling you all: don't trust tabloids or AI! "

William Shatner goes to space at age 90

Shatner may be in his senior years, but he shows no signs of slowing down.

In October 2021, Shatner, then 90, became the oldest person to visit space when he partnered with Blue Origin for its second human spaceflight. Shatner and three others were launched in a New Shepard rocket from the aerospace company's West Texas launch site.

A day after his historic visit to space, the Emmy-winning actor appeared virtually on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and said the trip offered him a "wake-up call."

"The message is … we all need a wake-up call every so often in our lives where your life is threatened by something," Shatner said. "I was overwhelmed by all the things we need to do and the loves and the losses. It was an enormous moment for me that I never expected."

William Shatner gets candid on death, memorial plans

In an October 2022 interview with USA TODAY for his book "Boldly Go: Reflections on a Life of Awe and Wonder," Shatner reflected on his views on death.

Shatner said writing the collection of personal essays helped him come to terms with the realities of dying, although he said "it's still just as confusing as it ever was."

"I'm going to leave my home, leave everything behind and never see my loved ones again," Shatner said. "These thoughts assail me. I'll never do another USA TODAY interview. I'm not religious. It's like, will I go through the pearly gates, and God's going to bring me to everybody from my past?"

The actor also shared how he wants his body to be preserved following his death.

"I want to be a tree. I'm going to have my ashes taken and plant a tree over them. A redwood tree," Shatner said. "So, instead of a piece of stone, there's this living thing that is nourished by my remains and continues on."
