Heather Locklear 'conscious and stable' after dash to hospital


Heather LocklearHeather Locklear is said to be in a conscious and stable condition after being rushed to hospital on Thursday (January 12).

The Melrose Place actress - who successfully completed an in-patient rehabilitation programme for a prescription drug dependency in 2010 after being involved in a hit-and-run accident - was examined by paramedics and taken for medical treatment in an ambulance.

It is thought that she may have mixed prescription drugs and alcohol.

A spokesperson for Los Robles Hospital told KNBC Los Angeles that Locklear will remain in hospital overnight, adding that she is conscious, stable and "resting comfortably".

According to TMZ, Ventura County Sheriff's Department and the fire service were the first to respond to Locklear's sister's call to the emergency services, which was placed at 2.05pm on Thursday afternoon.

Captain Mike Aranda from the Sheriff's Department later told People: "Emergency response personnel responded to a medical emergency call at Ms Locklear's residence. Once they arrived, it was determined that Ms Locklear needed to be transported to the hospital for further medical attention."

The star recently called off her engagement to The Bold and the Beautiful actor Jack Wagner. It has since been reported that they separated because planning their wedding put too much pressure on their relationship and living together was too hard for their children from previous relationships.

Wagner has insisted that he and Locklear "still love each other very much".
