Some of the biggest names in Hollywood have sent their best to actor Kevin Hart.

After news broke that Hart suffered "major back injuries" in a car accident on Sunday, everyone from Dwayne Johnson to Bryan Cranston wished him well on social media.

ABC News confirmed with California Highway Patrol Sunday that the comedian was hurt after his Plymouth Barracuda veered off the Mulholland Highway and landed in a ditch.

"Stop messing with my emotions brother @kevinhart4real," Johnson wrote on Instagram. "We have a lot more laughing to do together. Love you man. Stay strong."

Added Cranston: "I've just heard that @kevinhart4real was injured today in a car accident in Los Angeles. Let's all send him positive energy and healing thoughts. He's a good human. Get well soon, brother."

Hart, 40, was sitting in the passenger seat at the time of the incident, according to a police report obtained by ABC News, and left the scene to go home and, later, seek medical attention. The driver of the car, identified in the document as Jared Black, was not under the influence at the time.

According to an unconfirmed report from People magazine the comedian is now recovering from surgery.

A representative for Hart has not responded to a request for comment.
