Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez will soon undergo a “very complicated” surgery after a serious accident, his wife announced on social media.

Derbez is known for his roles in the Spanish shows “Al Derecho y Al Derbez,” “La Familia P. Luche,” and “XHDRBZ.”

Actress and singer Alessandra Rosaldo told fans her husband “is fine” but the “injuries he sustained are delicate.” Rosaldo did not disclose what type of accident or injury her husband suffered. Yahoo reported that the Mexican-morning show “Sale el Sol” said Tuesday that Derbez and his son Vadhir were in Atlanta and Derbez hit his shoulder and sustained several breaks while wearing a virtual reality helmet and playing a game.

“The operation is very complicated, but it does not compromise his health,” Rosaldo posted to Instagram. “The recovery process will be long and difficult since he will have to rest for several weeks and then undergo rehabilitation therapies.” (RELATED: Producers Stop Filming ‘Lady In The Lake’ Starring Natalie Portman After Drug Dealers Reportedly Threaten Them)

“I have some work commitments to fulfill that I cannot cancel, but I ask you all with much love, that whatever you want to know about this topic, allow me to communicate it through my social networks. Eugenio will be recovering and maybe for a while he will be away from his social networks and the media,” Rosaldo continued. “Thank you for always being close to us. I know that with the good energy that you all will be sending us with the favor of God, Eugenio will recover very soon.”
