"He's back with mom now," Daly wrote.
Daly's mother, Pattie Daly Caruso, a well-known local TV personality in California, died of a heart attack last month at age 73, according to US Weekly.
"Short story, been a rough month for my fam. Mom passing. Dad’s health in peril. Just finished shooting NEXT season of Voice. Back Thursday," Daly wrote on Twitter earlier this morning in response to a fan's inquiry about his whereabouts.
