As The Inquisitr noted earlier this week, sources had shared that Duane’s medical emergency was determined to have not been a major heart attack. The doctors seemingly decided that stress and blood pressure issues were behind the chest pains and the Dog the Bounty Hunter star had reportedly been released to go home.

Now, a new Instagram post shared Tuesday evening on Duane’s account confirms that he is resting comfortably at his home in Colorado. The statement from Duane’s rep also noted that the Dog the Bounty Hunter star was overwhelmed by all of the love he had been receiving from fans around the world.

“[M]y family prays with you and stands by your side during this time of pain, grief and sorrow… Just remember, they are still with us. She might not be standing by your side, but she’s in your heart!”

“Prayers, great big hugs and butterfly kisses headed your way Dog. Listen to your body and your doctors. And most of all, listen to God’s voice. It is the most loving, peaceful voice you can ever hear. Love this family!! Be blessed.”
