It has been reported that Mischa Barton has been voluntarily taken to hospital for a mental evaluation after her behaviour sparked concerns for her health.
The O.C. actress apparently alarmed her neighbours after displaying some very strange behaviour in her home.
In images published on TMZ, Mischa can be seen in her back garden and hanging over her fence looking clearly distressed. She is said to have only been wearing a dress shirt and a tie before being taken to hospital.
She's also reported to have been claiming her mother is a 'witch' and warning that the 'world is shattering.'
It is said that Mischa has undergone a 'voluntary psychiatric evaluation' and insiders revealed to the website that Mischa 'cooperated' with emergency services after the police and fire brigade were called to her home in L.A.
Mischa's representatives are yet to comment on the situation.
However, this is not the first time there have been concerns for her mental wellbeing.
In 2009, Mischa was placed in psychiatric care after she threatened to kill herself and admitted she was struggling to come.
According to The Mirror and speaking about that period, Mischa revealed: "It was a full-on breakdown. It was terrifying. I was never suicidal, I was just overworked and depressed. But one slip of the tongue in a heightened moment and you find yourself in that situation."
