Heather Locklear Hospitalized After Frantic 911 Call; Now Released

Actress Heather Locklear (MELROSE PLACE; DYNASTY) was rushed to the emergency room Thursday afternoon after police responded to a frantic 911 call placed by her older sister.

Paramedics and sheriff’s deputies responded to the actress’s Los Angeles area home around 2 p.m. and determined Locklear needed further medical attention.

Locklear, 50, was then taken by ambulance to the Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, Calif., where she stayed overnight and is now said to be resting comfortably, with family by her side.

“She is in no danger and she’s going to be just fine,” her parents Bill and Diane Locklear said in a statement issued by the hospital.

UPDATE #2:
Locklear was discharged from Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks, Calif., at around 5 p.m. on Friday, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

"Her parents wanted her fans to know this was not a suicide attempt and that she's doing really well and very good," the rep told reporters.
