David Hasselhoff 'suffered a seizure'

David Hasselhoff was reportedly rushed to hospital earlier today after suffering a seizure.

The star was found passed out at his home in Encino, CA at around midday, according to Radar Online.

He was taken to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre after his daughter Hayley called 911.

"Paramedics were called to the [Hasselhoff home] in Encino for medical aid. Paramedics arrived at approximately 11.51am and later transported the patient to a nearby hospital," Los Angeles City Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said.

The 57-year-old had visited one of his doctors after returning from a trip to Canada on Wednesday.

Hasselhoff was apparently drinking both on and after Thanksgiving Day. He has been hospitalised for alcohol poisoning more than five times in the past few years. The cause of the seizure is still unclear.
