Bam Margera celebrates hospital release after pneumonia battle

Bam Margera is back home after being hospitalized for pneumonia and COVID-19.

“I’m out!” the former “Jackass” star captioned a photo of himself posing with his friend Johnny Schillereff on Instagram on Saturday.

“Thank you to my friends, family and you for the love, support and prayers. 🙏 💜.”

Friends flooded Margera’s post with well wishes and words of encouragement following his health scare.

“So good to hear BamBam!! Take it easy my friend❤️,” musician Jussi 69 commented.

“F–k yes! Thank god you’re good dude! ❤️❤️❤️,” skateboarder Mike Mo Capaldi wrote.

Last week, 43-year-old Margera was hospitalized in the ICU of a San Diego hospital where doctors had placed him on a ventilator. Despite the terrifying turn of events, Margera was said to be in stable condition.

The hospitalization capped off a tumultuous year for the “Viva La Bam” alum, who has been attempting to escape numerous rehab centers while receiving treatment for his substance abuse and mental health issues.

Margera’s brother, Jess, and their mom, April, posted a joint Instagram statement in August addressing Bam’s health after he was granted a temporary healthcare guardian.

“It’s no secret that Bam has struggled with mental health and addiction,” the duo wrote at the time. “You’ve watched Bam grow up and supported him through his ups and downs.

“Although we love sharing our lives with you, some things need to be handled privately and treatment is one of them,” the statement continued. “Recovery is difficult and even more so under public scrutiny.”

Bam’s family members then disputed the “Free Bam” movement that began to take hold on social media, clarifying that their family member was not “in a conservatorship.”

“We ask for you to support Bam in his recovery, to stay on track, and wish him well in his sobriety,” the statement concluded.
