Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Pax finally released from ICU but faces ‘long’ recovery after suffering ‘complex trauma’ from crash as insider shares worrying health update

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Pax has been released from intensive care after crashing his e-bike.

The 20-year-old will face a “long road to recovery” and “has suffered complex trauma,” a source said People of his condition.

‘Pax has been discharged from the ICU. He suffered a complex trauma and is now beginning the long road of recovery and physical therapy.’

The insider added that Pax and Angelina, 49, are “deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of emergency responders, and for the excellent medical care he received.”

The Oscar winner is still with her son and his other siblings. The source says they have been “visiting and helping out,” adding, “They’re all very close.”

This follows claims that the actress is seeking help for her ‘troubled’ son.

Angelina has been with Pax in the hospital since he collided with a car during rush hour in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles on Monday, July 29.

He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

A source said TMZ On Tuesday, witnesses who lived nearby said Pax initially died in the crash, as they found him lifeless on the ground.

It was only when emergency services arrived on the scene that Pax regained consciousness.

Page Six reports that this is not the first time that the young man has been involved in incidents involving two- and four-wheelers.

“His friends are worried about him,” an insider told the outlet, claiming, “He’s being reckless. They’re worried.”

DailyMail.com has contacted Angelina’s representatives for comment.

“He’s had a series of car accidents,” the source claimed. “It’s not great. Pax is a problem child and Angelina is doing her best to help him.”

The publication reported that LAPD sources indicated there was nothing new to add to the initial report of a traffic accident when asked if charges might be filed.

Police and paramedics decided to take Pax to the hospital as soon as possible after he complained of a headache.

Despite his injuries, a source at TMZ claimed that Pax’s bike showed no visible damage.

Pax, who like several of his other siblings is estranged from his famous father, was reportedly driving on Los Feliz Boulevard around 5 p.m., putting him on a street that is normally busy during rush hour.

According to police sources, he drove up to an intersection and collided with his bicycle into the back of the car, which was already at the red traffic light.

According to reports, the driver of the car did his duty by getting out and checking on the injured Pax before police and ambulance arrived.

While it is unclear where exactly he collided with the car, witnesses at the scene said he complained of pain in his hip and that he suffered a head injury in the crash.

In recent months, Pax has been spotted around Los Angeles riding an electric bike, the Talaria Sting R MX4, which retails for around $3,000. It’s unknown, however, if this is the same bike he crashed.

He was last photographed riding the dirt bike on July 11.

It is striking that he was not wearing a helmet when he was photographed cycling on a public road.

California law requires all cyclists and motorcyclists under the age of 18 to wear a helmet. However, it is unclear whether the type of bike Pax was riding at the time required him to wear a helmet.

The accident is also said to have occurred on a street near Angelina’s Los Angeles home.

Angelina rushed to the hospital to be with her son after the accident.

A spokesman for the 60-year-old actor declined to comment when asked by DailyMail.com whether Pax’s father Brad planned to visit his son in hospital.

Pax, born in Vietnam, was adopted by Jolie at age 3, joining his siblings Maddox, 22, and Zahara, 19.

He is said to have a good relationship with them, as well as with his siblings Shiloh, 18, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 16.

Maddox and Zahara were adopted by Jolie’s then-partner, Brad, in 2005, and he adopted Pax in 2008.

Pitt’s three eldest children are estranged following a 2016 incident on a private jet in which the actor reportedly punched one of his children.

No charges have been filed following an investigation into the alleged incident.

Jolie and Pitt are legally separated, but are still fighting over the sale of Miraval, the vineyard in France.

On Thursday, the Eternals star accused Pitt of trying to get her to sign an $8.5 million nondisclosure agreement in connection with her abuse allegations, according to People.

In the court document, the Maleficent star claimed she acted “not with malicious intent and with the intent to harm Pitt in response to any potential custody decision” when she sold her stake in Miraval in 2021.

“Instead,” she told the court in the document, “it was Pitt who refused to purchase her interest unless he received his recently expanded nondisclosure agreement, enforceable by an $8.5 million withholding specifically designed to force her to remain silent about his abuse and cover-up.”
