Police searching for Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter
NEW YORK (AP) – Rosie O’Donnell’s 17-year-old daughter Chelsea, was found safe after not being seen by her family since leaving home a week ago.
O’Donnell’s spokeswoman, Cindi Berger, confirmed Chelsea O’Donnell was located but did not offer any details about where she was and who located her.
O’Donnell, in a statement, specifically thanked police in South Nyack, N.Y., where her family lives, and in Barneget Light, N.J., where they have a vacation home. Chelsea left the South Nyack home, about 25 miles north of New York City, last Tuesday with a therapy dog.
“Chelsea, like millions of people, lives with mental illness. It has been a difficult road for Chelsea and her family and they just want her back safe.” Berger said earlier Tuesday, when it was first publicly revealed the girl was missing. Police were involved since Sunday.
