Renner went on to thank his \"beautiful, brave nephew and the angels (my neighbors)\" who helped him out on that fateful day.

\"My gratitude list is very long,\" he continued, shouting out his fans for sending their love and his family for never leaving his side, as well as acknowledging \"some divine intervention,\" \"a bit of luck and a whole lot of miracles.\"

\"I stand strong again. More Open. More Loved. More Connected. And f------ BLESSED to take my next step, to take MY NEXT BREATH,\" he concluded. \"Thank you with every fiber and cell in my body. I love you ALL.\"

Renner was crushed by a 7-ton snowplow on New Year's Day 2023, an accident that broke more than 30 bones and led to months of recovery.

During his appearance in \"Jeremy Renner: The Diane Sawyer Interview -- A Story of Terror, Survival and Triumph,\" which aired in April 2023, the \"Avengers\" star said he considers himself a \"lucky man\" to have survived and largely recovered from the accident.

He also said he refuses to be \"haunted\" by memories of the incident.
