Washington, July 17 (ANI):
The O.C. star Mischa Barton has reportedly been put under involuntary
psychiatric hold.
According to Access
Hollywood, the 23-year-old actress was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in
Los Angeles after Barton called police at 3 p.m. with a health problem.
“We assisted her with a
medical issue and removed her from her home,” People magazine quoted LAPD
Officer April Harding as saying.
She adds that no
paramedics were involved and no arrests were made, but confidentiality laws
prevent her from revealing details about Barton’s condition.
Barton’s rep Craig
Schneider also refused to divulge further details.
“Mischa has been
hospitalized per the recommendation of her doctor and is resting in the
hospital,” he said.
Schneider said that police
were only needed to protect Barton from the media as she was transported to her
doctor. (ANI)
