The Sheriff’s department in Ventura County, west of Los Angeles said that emergency services responded to a 911 call from Locklear’s home and “determined that she needed to be transported to the hospital for further medical attention.”

Representatives of the actress did not return calls for comment but celebrity websites TMZ and RadarOnline said Locklear may have mixed prescription drugs and alcohol.

Locklear, who also appeared in the TV comedy “Spin City” has a history of depression, spending time in rehab in 2008.

The actress was married to rock star Tommy Lee and later Richie Sambora in the 1990s. In 2007 she began dating fellow “Melrose Place” actor Jack Wagner but their engagement was called off two months ago.
