'Star Trek' legend William Shatner, 94, rushed to hospital over medical emergency

'Star Trek' Icon William Shatner, 94, Hospitalized Due to Health Crisis

William Shatner was rushed to the hospital over a medical emergency Wednesday.

The actor experienced an issue with his blood sugar while at home in Los Angeles and called for help as a precaution, TMZ reported.

An ambulance from the Los Angeles Fire Department transported the “Star Trek” legend, 94, to a local hospital.

The Emmy winner, who is best known for playing Captain James T. Kirk, is now “good” and “resting comfortably,” the outlet claimed.

Shatner’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Last year, the former “Rescue 911” host revealed he was a cancer survivor who had beat stage 4 melanoma — despite a dire prognosis.

“They mentioned that if the treatment they administered was ineffective, I had around 5 months left,” Shatner shared with Healio in March 2024, though he did not disclose the timing of the diagnosis.

He recalled a medical professional apologizing to him in a way that conveyed, “Better pack your things.”

Shatner noted, “That person who said ‘sorry’ … was very sad, like, ‘You are going to die.’ And I was.”

The “T.J. Hooker” alum had previously received a prostate cancer diagnosis in 2016, which ended up being a false alarm.

“That was really scary,” he admitted to NBC News in 2018. “I was told by a doctor I had a terminal disease. That I was going to die.”

Notably, Shatner has kept up a busy professional life recently, taking on the role of Kirk yet again in the 2024 short film “765874 – Unification.”

Shatner remains active in the public sphere, making regular appearances such as at Dragon Con last month. He is also slated to participate in a “Space 2 Sea” event in the Galapagos Islands this November.

The “Better Late Than Never” alum has been married four times and is a three-time father to daughters Leslie, 67, Lisabeth, 64, and Melanie, 61.

He settled his latest divorce from Elizabeth Shatner in 2020 — only for the duo to reconcile amid the coronavirus pandemic.
