Jamie Foxx has had a very difficult 2023 but that is not stopping him from celebrating Christmas in a big way this year.
The 55-year-old Oscar-winning actor has lit up his Los Angeles mansion – which is located in Hidden Valley, not far from where the Kardashians live in Hidden Hills – with hundreds of lights that can be seen for a mile away.
To light a house this big costs about $10,000 when done by an expert team. The massive house had red, green and white lights all around it, and even several of his trees were decorated as well.
This comes after Jamie talked about his near death experience from a serious heath incident. The actor came down with an illness in the spring that took him off the film set of Back In Action with Cameron Diaz in April.
He has also been sued this month for an alleged sexual assault that happened in 2015. In the new lawsuit, obtained by DailyMail.com, he was accused of placing ‘both hands’ on a woman’s waist before moving them ‘under her top’ at Catch NYC & Roof.

Foxx, who used to date Katie Holmes, is seen here in 2019 long before his health meltdown
The reason it costs $10,000 to decorate the home is because of the square footage – the property is 20,000 square feet. It takes a lot of lights to go around that house.
A crane is also required to get the lights on some of his taller trees.
And he also had lights put on trees up his driveway and on his front gate, with JOY in lights near the main street.
Foxx lives in a $10.5 million mansion that sits on 40 acres of land in a remote section of Southern California named Hidden Valley.
It has a round car port, a covered entrance, a lap pool with hot tub, a basketball court, a tennis court and a pool house with patio.
There is also a play house for children in the back.
The mansion features tall ceilings, a spacious living room with a fireplace, a library, a family room, a game room, a gourmet kitchen equipped with top-quality appliances.
There is also a fitness gym, a recording studio, a sauna, and a master bedroom with a balcony and a pair of fireplaces.

This week Foxx spoke about his health incident at the association’s Celebration of Cinema & Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements in Los Angeles.
He said that he ‘saw the tunnel but not the light’ as he opened up about his near-death experience.
It was his first public appearance since his shock health scare at the Critics Choice Association’s event on Monday evening.
The actor was visibly moved as he accepted the Vanguard Award in a 12 minute Foxx admitted that he could not ‘walk’ six months earlier, via Deadline, though he refrained from revealing too many details about the medical crisis that put him in the hospital.
‘You know, it’s crazy, I couldn’t do that six months ago,’ he said after strutting across the stage to the microphone. ‘I couldn’t actually walk.’
‘I want to thanks everybody. I’ve been through something, I’ve been through some things,’ he said to thunderous applause.

The front gate is lit up and flanked by two big snowmen. Joy is written on the lawn by the main street
A lot of property: The driveway is long and the property is massive with several mature trees around it
He does not seem to have any neighbors near him, which must make his home extremely private
‘I cherish every single minute now — it’s different,’ he continued. ‘I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over … when you see the tunnel. I saw the tunnel — I didn’t see the light.
‘It was hot in that tunnel too, I don’t know where I was going. ‘S**t, am I going to the right place?’”
In his 12-minute speech, he also made light of some of the baseless conspiracy theories that spread while he was hospitalized and then out of the public eye for several months.
‘I’m not a clone, I’m not a clone. I know a lot of people who was saying I was cloned out there.’
‘I have a new respect for life. I have a new respect for my art,’ he added toward the end of his speech.
Foxx also shared his praise and thanks for his family, including his sister and daughter, for how they had helped to care for him while he was recuperating.
It’s unclear if Foxx will be returning to shoot additional scenes for his film Back In Action, which continued filming with Diaz and stand-ins filling in for him.
Foxx was given his award at the start of the show, but unlike the rest of the recipients, his honor was not announced ahead of time
This comes after Jamie talked about his near death experience from a serious heath incident. The actor came down with an illness in the spring that took him off the film set of Back In Action with Cameron Diaz in April. He talked about it on Monday
He also told The Hollywood Reporter on Monday: ‘I have a new respect for life, I have a new respect for my art. I watched so many movies and listened to so many songs trying to have the time go by.
‘Don’t give up on your art, man, don’t give up on your art. When you realize that it could be over like that… I got to tell you don’t give up on your art and don’t let them take the art from you either.”
Although Foxx has been spotted several times since his shocking hospitalization while filming Back In Action with Diaz in April, this marked his first official public appearance.
Foxx initially returned to Instagram on May 3 to thank his followers with a text post. ‘Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed,’ he wrote at the time.
