Mariah Carey's husband, Nick Cannon, has left hospital.

A representative told People magazine he was "released over the weekend to be with his family.

"He is resting and recovering at home and would like to thank everyone who has expressed concern, well wishes and prayers."

Nick Cannon was taken to hospital last week suffering from what his wife Mariah Carey described as mild kidney failure.

The couple had been on holiday in the ski resort of Aspen, Colorado.

The singer later tweeted a picture of herself next to her husband on a hospital bed.

She wrote: "Please pray for Nick as he's fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman."

Mariah Carey called it a "serious moment that's very tough on all of us".

The pair, who married in 2008, became parents last year to twins Monroe and Moroccan.

Nick Cannon is the host of America's Got Talent - a US entertainment show created by Simon Cowell.

Last month, it was announced radio DJ Howard Stern would replace Piers Morgan on the judging panel on the show.
