Zac Efron is doing OK after being hospitalized in Spain as a result of a swimming accident, reports say.
Representatives for the "High School Musical" star, 36, confirmed to TMZ and People that he was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure after a "minor swimming incident" in a pool at a villa in Ibiza on Friday.
The actor was reportedly released from the hospital the following morning, and a spokesperson for Efron told People that he's fine.
USA TODAY has reached out to Efron's representatives for additional information.
Efron recently popped up onstage during an Ibiza performance by DJ Martin Garrix, according to video shared on TikTok.

"It sucks," he told Entertainment Tonight of the accident. "I almost died. But we're good."

In a Men's Health profile in 2022, Efron elaborated on the mishap, explaining that he was running through his house with socks on when he slipped and smacked his chin on a fountain, leading him to pass out. When he woke up, "his chin bone was hanging off his face," Men's Health reported.
Efron said that after the injury, he began undergoing physical therapy and his masseter muscles "got really, really big," which led to online speculation that he had plastic surgery. Dismissing these rumors, the actor told Men's Health, "If I valued what other people thought of me to the extent that they may think I do, I definitely wouldn't be able to do this work."

The actor additionally "tore his ACL, dislocated his shoulder, broke his wrist, and threw out his back" within the span of about a year and a half, according to the 2022 Men's Health profile.
In 2019, the Daily Telegraph also reported that Efron was rushed to the hospital with a "form of typhoid or similar bacterial infection" while filming a show in Papua, New Guinea.
"Very thankful to everyone who has reached out," he wrote on Instagram at the time. "I did get sick in Papua New Guinea but I bounced back quick."
