Shia LaBeouf's mother wants the world to know: The kid is all right.

In recovery, but all right.

Shayna LaBeouf told E! News that her 22-year-old action-star son remains at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after undergoing "extensive hand surgery" in the wake of his truck-flipping, DUI-inurring car crash.

"I'm at the hospital right now, he's doing fine," said Shayna, who has been keeping watch over her son since his wreck in the wee hours of Sunday.

Though she declined to speak specifically to his condition, the extremely emotional mother thanked the public for their concern over her son's well-being.

"Thank you, thank you," she said on the verge of tears.

While Shayna isn't talking about her son's state, LaBeouf's rep did, confirming Sunday afternoon that the Indiana Jones and Transformers star sustained injuries to his head, knee and, most severely of all, left hand.

LaBeouf is expected to be MIA from the Transformers 2 set for roughly one month while he recovers from the surgery.

The actor is due in court next month to face a misdemeanor DUI charge resulting from the accident.
