Rosie O'Donnell says her 17-year-old daughter Chelsea, missing and in need of medical attention since last week, has been found.
Earlier Tuesday, in a series of tweets and on her website, O'Donnell said South Nyack, N.Y., police, where she lives, have been looking for her daughter in Rockland County, N.Y., since Sunday.
"Rosie wants to thank everyone for their help, especially the South Nyack, N.Y. and Barneget Light, N.J., police departments," said O'Donnell's longtime publicist Cindi Berger in an emailed statement.
According to Detective James Coyle of South Nyack-Grand View Police Department, officers are en route to pick up Chelsea, who was located in New Jersey and is in good health.
Police in the village of South Nyack confirmed Tuesday that Chelsea had not returned home on Sunday and that they were looking for her.
"The South Nyack-Grand View Police Department is currently investigating a reported missing person, Chelsea O'Donnell, age 17," said Brent Newbury, chief of police for the South Nyack-Grand View Police Department, in a statement. "She was reported missing by her family on Sunday, August 16th.
"The Police Department is working with area law enforcement agencies to locate Chelsea and reunite her with her family."
She was last seen Tuesday, August 11," O'Donnell's website said. "She was wearing a black sweatshirt hoodie, dark ripped blue jeans, women's grey converse sneakers and a black backpack. Chelsea has a large tattoo on her right side of a dream catcher with the word 'Breathe.' "
O'Donnell, comedian, author, actress, former talk-show host and gay activist, said her daughter left home with her 6-month-old therapy dog named Bear, described as a brown and black terrier.
"Chelsea stopped taking her medicine and is in need of medical attention. Any information please contact authorities," O'Donnell wrote, and she listed a police number, which is currently busy.
"Chelsea, like millions of people, lives with mental illness," said Berger, in an emailed statement. "It has been a difficult road for Chelsea and her family and they just want her back safe."
O'Donnell, who has five children, has been in the news most recently jousting with billionaire and GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, with whom she has feuded for years.
Chelsea Belle O'Donnell is one of three kids Rosie has with ex-wife Kelli Carpenter. Chelsea is adopted but one of the three, Vivienne Rose, was born to Carpenter through artificial insemination. O'Donnell adopted her eldest child, Parker, in 1995 when he was an infant.
