The former O.C. actress, Mischa Barton, has reportedly been placed under involuntary psychiatric hold. Read more on Mischa Barton below.

Mischa Barton, 23, is being held at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

On Wednesday, Mischa Barton called police at 3 p.m. with a health problem, LAPD Officer April Harding confirmed to People magazine. “We assisted her with a medical issue and removed her from her home,” says Harding. She adds that no paramedics were involved and no arrests were made, but confidentiality laws prevent her from revealing details about Barton’s condition.

Mischa Barton’s rep, Craig Schneider, tells People magazine that police were only needed to protect the former O.C. star from the media as she was transported to her doctor.

According to the California Welfare and Institutions, authorities can hold a person involuntarily if they present a danger to themselves or others, are gravely disabled or suffer from a mental disorder. Barton could be held for up to 72 hours.
