• Billy Brown of Alaskan Bush People has reportedly been in and out of the hospital this month.
  • Bear Brown explained on Instagram that his dad is dealing with "major medical issues."

Our thoughts are with Alaskan Bush People star Billy Brown as he struggles with "some major medical issues."

The 66-year-old's oldest son, Bear Brown, took to Instagram to inform his followers about Billy's ongoing health complications.

"Hey everyone, I just wanted to keep you posted," Bear said in a video shared to his private account. "My dad is still having some major medical issues. In fact, he got out of surgery just the other day—but has a lot more tests to do, so we're still in town. Thanks for sticking with us and God bless."

The reality star did not offer any more specifics about what kind of health problems his father is facing or why he underwent surgery, but this update comes less than a year after Billy was hospitalized for an upper respiratory infection.

He has also suffered from seizures in the past, one of which was caught on camera and shown on Alaskan Bush People in 2015. Noah Brown found Billy in the woods struggling to stay conscious and, while he ended up being fine, the entire family was spooked by the incident.

"Every now and then, he weirds out, gets all dingy, he has a seizure," Bam Bam Brown explained at the time. "It varies from so light that he can kind of hide it from you, to so bad he just goes down and loses consciousness."

Get well soon, Billy!
