Charlie Sheen thanks execs for support

Charlie Sheen has thanked studio executives behind Two and a Half Men for their continued support during his outpatient rehab treatment.

The actor began working with an addiction expert and other professionals from his California home this week in order to avoid the press attention garnered by attendance at a public facility.

In a statement, Sheen said: "I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people.

"I want to say 'thank you' to my fellow cast members, the crew of Two and a Half Men, and everyone at CBS and Warner Bros, especially Les Moonves and Bruce Rosenblum for their concern and support. "

Sheen also acknowledged fans who have stood behind him during the difficult time, adding: "And to my fans, your good wishes have touched me very much.

"Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion, I just want to say thank you."
