Mischa Barton, former star of the TV show “The O.C.” was removed from her L.A. home by the Los Angeles Police Department on Wednesday.

LAPD spokesperson Richard French told MTV News on Thursday (July 16): “It was apparently yesterday a little after 3 in the afternoon, and one of the patrol units in West L.A. division responded to her home for a medical issue.”

Craig Schneider, the actresses rep told People in a statement, “Police were involved due to Ms. Barton’s celebrity status, to safely transfer her to medical treatment as per doctor’s orders,” Schneider said, adding that the actress is now “OK and resting.”

These “medical issues” are preventing Barton from attending the premiere for her latest film, “Homecoming.” Producer Austin Stark said to People, “There were some medical problems. She’s not able to travel, as far as I know.”

“Homecoming” director Morgan J. Freeman also responded to the news that the 23-year-old actress won’t be attending the movie’s premiere, through a statement issued to Access Hollywood. “I along with everyone on the ‘Homecoming’ team are saddened to hear that Mischa Barton will not be able to attend the film’s premiere tonight in New York,” he said. “Her performance in ‘Homecoming’ is fantastic, and she will be missed at our premiere.”
