"He's doing so good. I got to go over and see him today, which was so lovely and so nice to see him with my daughter and just go over and give love," she told Extra at the Jhpiego Laughter Is the Best Medicine Gala.
"As a family, especially my sisters and I, we're just so grateful for the love that comes at him," she added. "I think it is such a reflection of who he is."
