Ryan Reynolds was the victim of a hit-and-run on April 10 while walking in a Vancouver parking lot where the actor is in town to film the movie "Deadpool."

The Vancouver-native was uninjured after reportedly being hit by a paparazzo, who was driving a vehicle through an underground parking garage, the Associated Press reports.

Reynolds, 38, seems to be fine since he joked about the incident on Twitter Sunday night when a reporter from the CBC tweeted him asking about his condition.

His publicist Leslie Sloane confirmed to the AP that the "Green Lantern" star was okay.

"While walking, Ryan was struck by a paparazzi driving a car through an underground parking garage," Sloane told the publication. "The man fled the scene. Ryan is okay."

Police officer Brian Montague also said to the Associated Press that Reynolds was not harmed during the incident, but couldn't go into further details at this time.

The incident is still under investigation.

Reynolds has been in Vancouver for a number of weeks now shooting his next film, "Deadpool," where he stars as a Special Forces operative who obtains the ability to heal people after being the test-subject of a scientific experiment.

The actor's wife, Blake Lively, was not with Reynolds at the time as she was back in Los Angeles to promote her new movie "The Age of Adaline."

In December 2014, Reynolds and Lively became parents for the first time, welcoming their daughter, James, into the world.

Reynolds joked on the "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" that his baby is doing a good job keeping her parents up at night.

"Our baby in particular is, we think, allergic to sleep," he said during his appearance.
