Owen Wilson has been rushed to hospital in Los Angeles after a suspected suicide attempt.

The actor was taken into the Cedars-Sinai hospital on Sunday after he reportedly tried to take his own life, according to the National Enquirer.

Sources told the magazine that Wilson had cut his wrists and had taken a number of pills.

Santa Monica police said that "medical assistance" had been called to a house in Wilson's street and that "the person was transported to a local hospital where they are being treated".

Editor-in-chief at the National Enquirer, David Perel, allegedly told the Perezhilton website: "Owen Wilson has now been transferred to another Los Angeles area hospital. His brothers Andrew and Luke are with him.

"Andrew found him after the suicide attempt and called an ambulance. Both of Owen’s wrists were slashed superficially and Owen had taken an overdose of pills.

"Owen was found with a nearly empty bottle of pills next to him. He was at his house in Santa Monica."
