One week from the day he was admitted to the hospital and administered life-support procedures, Lamar Odom was transferred by helicopter from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

A statement from the family released Tuesday described Odom’s progress as much improved. He was unresponsive at Love Ranch brothel near Las Vegas on Oct. 13 when he was rushed to a hospital in Pahrump, Nevada, and then moved.

“He continues to make miraculous progress, taking a few steps in Los Angeles,” the family said Tuesday.

Odom, 35, began physical therapy, the Los Angeles Daily News reported.
