Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Pax has been released from hospital following a horrific bike crash, but there is a 'long road of recovery' ahead, an insider has revealed.
Last week Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt was involved in a horror crash while riding his electric motorcycle in Los Angeles.
Adopted son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Pax, was reportedly riding his electric bike without a helmet and crashed into the back of a car, law enforcement sources told TMZ.
Pax had been driving down Los Feliz Boulevard at about 5pm local time on July 29.

The Los Angeles Times reports the incident occurred at the intersection of Los Feliz boulevard and Hobart Boulevard, and the car was 'completely stopped' at the lights at the time, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told the outlet.
This would have been a busy street during rush hour traffic and the driver of the car is said to have got out to check on Pax following the collision.
Following the crash, the 20-year-old was rushed to the hospital.
Pax has now been released from the hospital ICU, however his road to recovery is expected to be difficult.
A source spoke to People magazine and detailed his condition, as well as his family’s response to the crash.
"Pax has been released from the ICU. He suffered complex trauma, and now begins the long road of recovery and physical therapy,” the source said.
The source also said that Pax’s mother Jolie was by his side while he was in hospital.
They added she is ‘deeply grateful for the quick and life-saving action of first responders, and the outstanding medical care he received'.
As well as Pax’s mother, his siblings have also been ‘visiting and helping’ as they are ‘all very close,’ according to the source.
Witnesses of the crash have said that the incident appeared so severe that they thought Pax had died.
Witnesses of the incident told TMZ they saw Pax lying on the ground and that he was briefly unconscious during the incident, leading some to believe the crash may've been fatal.
Thankfully, paramedics arrived and Pax reportedly woke up. He was in a more stable condition upon being transferred to hospital, despite initial fears of a brain bleed.
