Rumours are swirling in Hollywood that actor Owen Wilson is recovering at a Los Angeles hospital from an alleged suicide attempt.
Entertainment website TMZ.com reported that police and an ambulance responded to a 911 call from Wilson's house Sunday around noon. The 38-year-old was rushed to a hospital where he's reportedly in stable condition and is being comforted by brothers Andrew and Luke.
Other reports in entertainment magazines said Wilson had cut his wrists and overdosed on pills before being discovered by a family member at his Santa Monica home.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton reported "both of Owen's wrists were slashed superficially and Owen had taken an overdose of pills."
And while there hasn't been an official statement from the Wilson camp, the Santa Monica Police Department released a confirmation that officers responded to a medical assistance call from Wilson's address.
``The person was transported to a local hospital where they are being treated,'' the statement read.
The star of 'Wedding Crashers' and 'Starsky and Hutch' reportedly split with his actor girlfriend Kate Hudson following a brief trip to Australia where the couple promoted the comedy 'You, Me and Dupree'. He's currently in the middle of filming the Ben Stiller-directed comedy 'Tropic Thunder'.
