Courteney Cox has dismissed rumors of a personal crisis after a "family matter" halted production on her TV show Cougar Town.

Cox, who executive produces and stars in the series, shut the comedy down this week to deal with an undisclosed issue.

The star has refused to confirm the details of the matter, but a representative insists her family is fine and tells People.com she is planning to return to work following a previously planned break for Thanksgiving.

Cox's co-star Busy Philipps confirmed the news in a post on her Twitter.com page, telling fans she will pass on their best wishes to her pal, writing, "Cougar Town was only down for one day - we're back shooting after Thanksgiving. I'll pass along the love for CC!"
