Daughter 'called 911 after no Baldwin answer'

Kim Basinger's brother has revealed that Ireland Baldwin reportedly called 911 because her father Alec Baldwin did not answer his phone.

Baldwin has claimed that his daughter's 911 call and his subsequent trip to the hospital was all a "misunderstanding".

Don Basinger has said that his 14-year-old niece was in LA and her father was at his Manhattan apartment when they disputed by phone on Thursday.

Speaking to People, Basinger said: "Ireland was talking to her dad and they got into an argument. He got upset. She tried to call him back and she couldn't reach him, so she called 911.

"It was a simple little thing, a misunderstanding."

Baldwin is due to host the Oscars with Steve Martin next month.
